Cheap Flights to Sherwood Park from HK$397

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sherwood Park could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your getaway to Sherwood Park a pleasure. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
