Cheap Flights to Uddingston from HK$248

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Uddingston holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Uddingston, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
