Cheap Flights to Fylingdales from HK$1,356

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Fylingdales escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Fylingdales, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
