Cheap Flights to Leominster from HK$265

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Leominster. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Leominster in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
