Cheap Flights to Cheadle from HK$541

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Cheadle escape started on the right foot. 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 deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Cheadle, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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 on board.
