Cheap Flights to Gleneden Beach from HK$1,007

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Gleneden Beach escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board 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.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your trip to Gleneden Beach a pleasure. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
