Cheap Flights to Thurlestone from HK$446

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Thurlestone could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Thurlestone a breeze. Read through our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
