Cheap Flights to Newmarket from HK$6,698

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Newmarket could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Newmarket a pleasure. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
