Cheap Flights to Mook from HK$586

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Mook could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Mook in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
