Cheap Flights to Esher from HK$466

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Esher escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure 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 shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The answer is --- be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Esher, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
