Cheap Flights to Woburn from HK$4,602

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your time in Woburn. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

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

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Woburn in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
