Cheap Flights to Beaconsfield from HK$1,838

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your time in Beaconsfield. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Beaconsfield a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
