Cheap Flights to Weatherly from HK$5,998

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your time in Weatherly. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Weatherly before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
