Cheap Flights to South Creake from HK$6,255

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these top travel tips that will get your South Creake holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting 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 seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to South Creake in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
