Cheap Flights to Spring Hill from HK$1,400

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Spring Hill in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Spring Hill in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
