Cheap Flights to Edison from HK$3,048

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Edison could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

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

• Have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
