Cheap Flights to Denholm from HK$5,073

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Denholm holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, 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:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Denholm, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
