Cheap Flights to Horton from HK$480

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will get your Horton holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Horton a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
