Cheap Flights to Ramsey from HK$1,018

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Ramsey escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Ramsey, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
