Cheap Flights to Cwm-y-glo from HK$439

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Cwm-y-glo holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Cwm-y-glo, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
