Cheap Flights to Hatherton from HK$204

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

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Hatherton quick and painless. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
