Cheap Flights to Whitewater from HK$6,600

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Whitewater holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change 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 of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Whitewater in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
