Cheap Flights to Hurstbourne Tarrant from HK$1,272

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Hurstbourne Tarrant could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

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

• Have your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger 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 remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
