Cheap Flights to Weston from HK$6,829

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Weston holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Weston in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
