Cheap Flights to Jacks Point from HK$395

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Jacks Point vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and don't forget to pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Jacks Point in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
