Cheap Flights to Ashbury from HK$306

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Ashbury. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Ashbury, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, 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.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
