Cheap Flights to Uffculme from HK$1,558

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Uffculme could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Uffculme in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. 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 devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
