Cheap Flights to Bradley from HK$510

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy hints that will get your Bradley vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Bradley, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
