Cheap Flights to Stratton from HK$551

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organized. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Stratton escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a cardigan just in case you get cold. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Stratton, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
