Cheap Flights to Coalville from HK$540

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Coalville escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Coalville in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
