Cheap Flights to Yarnfield from HK$554

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Yarnfield escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Yarnfield, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. 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, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
