Cheap Flights to Helston from HK$1,683

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Helston could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and opt for flat, enclosed footwear 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-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Helston a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
