Cheap Flights to Greshornish from HK$567

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Greshornish holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Greshornish a piece of cake. Here are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? 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 can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
