Cheap Flights to Scotts Flat from HK$749

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Scotts Flat could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and wear closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Scotts Flat in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
