Cheap Flights to Lewisville from HK$1,523

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your time in Lewisville. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organised. We've put together some helpful hints for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Lewisville, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring 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.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
