Cheap Flights to Wicken from HK$677

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Wicken vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Wicken quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
