Cheap Flights to Buttonwillow from HK$2,384

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Buttonwillow escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Buttonwillow, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product 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-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
