Cheap Flights to Gunnislake from HK$4,307

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gunnislake could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Gunnislake, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne? 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.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
