Cheap Flights to Brigham from HK$5,021

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Brigham could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Brigham in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
