Cheap Flights to Dorchester from HK$963

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy hints that will help get your Dorchester vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Dorchester a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
