Cheap Flights to Littlestone-on-Sea from HK$342

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Littlestone-on-Sea could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Littlestone-on-Sea, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
