Cheap Flights to Hillsboro from HK$931

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a ball in Hillsboro in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Hillsboro, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
