Cheap Flights to Grasmere from HK$8,256

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a blast in Grasmere in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Grasmere quick and painless. We've rounded up some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a 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 can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
