Cheap Flights to Winston from HK$3,797

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Winston escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Winston a breeze. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
