Cheap Flights to Bath from HK$217

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and having a blast in Bath in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Bath quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
