Cheap Flights to Gargas from HK$399

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Gargas could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's all about being organised. We've put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Gargas, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
