Cheap Flights to New Lexington from HK$1,530

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to New Lexington could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to New Lexington before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
