Cheap Flights to Llandyrnog from HK$241

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Llandyrnog escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

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 zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Llandyrnog, here you come:

• Keep your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
