Cheap Flights to Hedley from HK$272

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips that will get your Hedley holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted 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 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Hedley a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
