Cheap Flights to Newport from HK$1,211

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and seeing the best of Newport in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Newport, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
