Cheap Flights to Worcester from HK$863

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your getaway in Worcester.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Worcester a breeze. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? 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 allowed to bring it with you on board.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
