Cheap Flights to Herolds Bay from HK$1,005

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Herolds Bay could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, 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 top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Herolds Bay quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
