Cheap Flights to Gorokan from HK$1,746

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Gorokan could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by lengthy 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 staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Gorokan before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take 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.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
