Cheap Flights to Bordertown from HK$396

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and seeing the best of Bordertown in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Bordertown quick and painless. Check out our top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
