Cheap Flights to Granby from HK$617

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

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk 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 well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Granby in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
