Cheap Flights to Cumberland from HK$1,602

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Cumberland could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board 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 opt for easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Cumberland quick and painless. Read through our useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often 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 quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
