Cheap Flights to Repton from HK$2,327

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Repton holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like sneakers.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Repton in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
