Cheap Flights to Burlington from HK$985

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and discovering Burlington before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Burlington easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
