Cheap Flights to Yorkshire from HK$595

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Yorkshire escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Yorkshire in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Have your passport and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• 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, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
