Cheap Flights to Rockledge from HK$778

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these handy travel tips that will get your Rockledge holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Rockledge in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Keep your passport and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
