Cheap Flights to Falmouth from HK$2,650

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Falmouth could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to lower your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Falmouth in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
