Cheap Flights to Eastleigh from HK$411

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy hints that will get your Eastleigh vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good idea too.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Eastleigh, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
