Cheap Flights to Greenhill from HK$1,319

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of top travel tips that will get your Greenhill escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Greenhill in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
