Cheap Flights to Seaham from HK$3,457

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Seaham in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking 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 guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The secret is to be organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Seaham before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes 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 or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
