Cheap Flights to Bartlett from HK$6,639

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Bartlett holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Bartlett, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
