Cheap Flights to Longbridge from HK$532

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Longbridge could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave 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 Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Longbridge easy and painless. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually 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 quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
