Cheap Flights to Kirriemuir from HK$802

If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a pain-free start to your time in Kirriemuir. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organised before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kirriemuir in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
