Cheap Flights to Kincardine from HK$538

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy hints that will get your Kincardine holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before your flight can make your trip to Kincardine quick and painless. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
