Cheap Flights to Derwent from HK$4,873

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

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Derwent before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
