Cheap Flights to Gourbit from HK$396

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Gourbit. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Gourbit in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
