Cheap Flights to Skipsea from HK$5,429

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your time in Skipsea. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Skipsea, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
