Cheap Flights to Holland-On-Sea from HK$298

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Follow these handy tips that will get your Holland-On-Sea holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Holland-On-Sea a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• 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 and will be confiscated.
