Cheap Flights to Carlisle from HK$2,234

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Carlisle escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Carlisle, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
