Cheap Flights to Swadlincote from HK$3,242

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your holiday in Swadlincote. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Swadlincote in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
