Cheap Flights to Bridge of Allan from HK$257

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Bridge of Allan. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Bridge of Allan a pleasure. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
