Cheap Flights to Heres from HK$1,779

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Heres in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Heres in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
