Cheap Flights to Sheffield from HK$2,177

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sheffield could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a pullover in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sheffield before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
