Cheap Flights to Coventry from HK$1,523

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Coventry could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Coventry a pleasure. Check out our handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
