Cheap Flights to Brookmans Park from HK$286

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Brookmans Park vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy work well.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Brookmans Park, here you come:

• Keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
