Cheap Flights to Gigante from HK$1,450

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gigante could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Gigante in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
