Cheap Flights to Sevenoaks from HK$403

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Sevenoaks could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sevenoaks in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be 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 boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
