Cheap Flights to Lampeter from HK$1,671

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Lampeter escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Lampeter in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
