Cheap Flights to Hawkesbury Upton from HK$306

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Hawkesbury Upton before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Hawkesbury Upton in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
