Cheap Flights to Tamarack from HK$6,149

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Tamarack.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Tamarack in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
