Cheap Flights to Salcombe from HK$3,904

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your getaway in Salcombe.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Salcombe, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
