Cheap Flights to Harbor Beach from HK$16,223

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Harbour Beach escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Harbour Beach in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
