Cheap Flights to Uxbridge from HK$1,042

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Uxbridge holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Uxbridge in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
