Cheap Flights to Audlem from HK$374

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Audlem holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like slip-ons.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Audlem, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
