Cheap Flights to Luton from HK$1,990

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Luton escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Luton, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of 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.
