Cheap Flights to Lyme Regis from HK$1,775

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Lyme Regis escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Lyme Regis easy and painless. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
