Cheap Flights to Work Hall from HK$1,297

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Work Hall could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Work Hall, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• 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.
