Cheap Flights to Telford from HK$2,899

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Telford vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also recommended.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks is also a wise idea.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Telford easy and painless. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
