Cheap Flights to Ipswich from HK$283

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ipswich could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also recommended.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Ipswich easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
