Cheap Flights to Baskerville from HK$542

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your time in Baskerville.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Baskerville in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
