Cheap Flights to Almondbury from HK$357

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Almondbury holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers 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's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Almondbury, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
