Cheap Flights to Wareham from HK$541

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Wareham escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights is also a wise idea.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Wareham a pleasure. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
