Cheap Flights to Trenton from HK$372

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Trenton holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. 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:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Trenton, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• 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, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
