Cheap Flights to Windsor from HK$690

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Windsor could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Windsor in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
