Cheap Flights to Stonehouse from HK$366

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your holiday in Stonehouse. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• 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.

The secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Stonehouse in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• 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 easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item 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.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
