Cheap Flights to Bonnyrigg from HK$270

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Bonnyrigg holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Bonnyrigg a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
