Cheap Flights to Flowood from HK$2,243

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Flowood before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Flowood, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
