Cheap Flights to South Elgin from HK$691

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and enjoying South Elgin in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before your flight can make your getaway to South Elgin a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check 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 kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
