Cheap Flights to Milton Ernest from HK$182

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Milton Ernest holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Milton Ernest, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
