Cheap Flights to Chalton from HK$1,417

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your holiday in Chalton. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Chalton a breeze. Below you'll find some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, 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). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
