Cheap Flights to Hork from HK$3,109

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Hork. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Hork a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
