Cheap Flights to Glasgow Point from HK$7,599

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Glasgow Point holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Glasgow Point a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
