Cheap Flights to Ingleton from HK$1,040

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Ingleton holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, 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. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ingleton in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Have your ID and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
