Cheap Flights to Bassenthwaite from HK$715

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bassenthwaite could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Bassenthwaite quick and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
