Cheap Flights to Eckington from HK$985

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Eckington in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Eckington in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, 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.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
