Cheap Flights to Laurel Hill from HK$6,813

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Laurel Hill could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Laurel Hill in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
