Cheap Flights to Clanfield from HK$2,291

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Clanfield holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through security. Look out Clanfield, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
