Cheap Flights to Loxford from HK$1,868

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Loxford vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Loxford in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
