Cheap Flights to Clifton from HK$1,232

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Clifton escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

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

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
