Cheap Flights to Ferndown from HK$3,974

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Ferndown holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Ferndown, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
