Cheap Flights to Balderton from HK$1,352

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Balderton could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Balderton quick and painless. Read through our top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
