Cheap Flights to Lyndhurst from HK$1,400

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your holiday in Lyndhurst. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Lyndhurst, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, 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-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
