Cheap Flights to Edithburgh from HK$339

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Edithburgh could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Edithburgh, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
