Cheap Flights to Milton Keynes from HK$2,647

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Milton Keynes escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged 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 all about being organised. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Milton Keynes, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
