Cheap Flights to Kingston from HK$477

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Kingston escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Kingston easy and painless. Below are some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you 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.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, 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), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
