Cheap Flights to Elizabeth from HK$2,186

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will get your Elizabeth vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

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 bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Elizabeth in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
