Cheap Flights to Troutbeck from HK$5,575

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Troutbeck escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Troutbeck, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? Not a 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-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
