Cheap Flights to Cloughey from HK$342

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Cloughey could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've compiled some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Cloughey, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger 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 minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
