Cheap Flights to Deeside from HK$374

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through airport security and seeing the best of Deeside before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Deeside a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? 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, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
