Cheap Flights to Bordon from HK$284

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Bordon could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your trip to Bordon a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
