Cheap Flights to South Dennis from HK$808

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your South Dennis holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to South Dennis in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
