Cheap Flights to Shelburne from HK$2,656

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Shelburne.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Shelburne quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, 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.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
