Cheap Flights to Eton from HK$1,777

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Eton could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and bring a sweater just in case you get chilly. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Eton, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. 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.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
