Cheap Flights to Gibourne from HK$335

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organised. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Gibourne holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Gibourne in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
