Cheap Flights to Acton Burnell from HK$3,189

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Acton Burnell could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and wear flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Acton Burnell, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
