Cheap Flights to East Broughton from HK$864

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your East Broughton escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to East Broughton in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
