Cheap Flights to Scotch Corner from HK$8,098

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and discovering Scotch Corner in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Scotch Corner, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
