Cheap Flights to Pirbright from HK$2,126

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Pirbright escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Pirbright a pleasure. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
