Cheap Flights to Ruskin from HK$1,325

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ruskin could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Ruskin a piece of cake. Here are some handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
