Cheap Flights to Furnace from HK$239

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring Furnace in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Furnace easy and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
