Cheap Flights to New Caney from HK$2,361

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will help get your New Caney holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to New Caney in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
