Cheap Flights to Sheerness from HK$317

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Sheerness in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Sheerness quick and painless. Below are some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Travelling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
