Cheap Flights to Ampthill from HK$142

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Ampthill.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you pack the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ampthill in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
