Cheap Flights to Hawick from HK$285

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Hawick could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Hawick, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
