Cheap Flights to Lumberton from HK$2,995

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Lumberton.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and take a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Lumberton, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, 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 as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
