Cheap Flights to Acton from HK$2,794

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your getaway in Acton.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy --- first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be the goal when deciding what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Acton in a flash. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
