Cheap Flights to Woodbridge from HK$450

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will get your Woodbridge escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Woodbridge before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
