Cheap Flights to Haversham from HK$228

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Haversham holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Haversham in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
