Cheap Flights to Barrhead from HK$253

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Barrhead vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes work well.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your trip to Barrhead a breeze. Here are some handy hints for a swift journey past security:

• Have your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
