Cheap Flights to Haskell from HK$6,269

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Haskell holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Haskell in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
