Cheap Flights to Frinton-on-Sea from HK$976

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy travel tips that will get your Frinton-on-Sea escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Frinton-on-Sea a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? No problem. 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 allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
