Cheap Flights to Chesapeake City from HK$1,681

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Chesapeake City could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Chesapeake City a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
