Cheap Flights to Liverpool from HK$702

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Liverpool escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a smart option.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Liverpool quick and painless. Below are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
