Cheap Flights to Saffron Walden from HK$274

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Saffron Walden could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Saffron Walden a breeze. Check out our top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
