Cheap Flights to West Anstey from HK$677

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your getaway in West Anstey. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to West Anstey in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
