Cheap Flights to Hollacombe from HK$397

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

• First, pack your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Hollacombe a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
