Cheap Flights to Fleetwood from HK$2,447

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Fleetwood could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Fleetwood a breeze. Below are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
