Cheap Flights to Woodstock from HK$2,669

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Woodstock could be a breeze or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes work well.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Woodstock a pleasure. Below are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Have your ID and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. 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 gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. 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 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
