Cheap Flights to Carluke from HK$254

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Carluke could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Carluke, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off 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 or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
