Cheap Flights to Flitwick from HK$279

If you're not prepared, traveling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Flitwick.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice of clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Flitwick before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
