Cheap Flights to Gävle from HK$732

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Gävle could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Gävle a pleasure. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
