Cheap Flights to Douglas and Angus from HK$4,949

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Douglas and Angus could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Douglas and Angus a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
