Cheap Flights to Leeuwin from HK$527

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

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Leeuwin quick and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
