Cheap Flights to Skelmersdale from HK$2,273

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

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets cool in the cabin. Go for a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Skelmersdale a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
