Cheap Flights to Kingston from HK$3,936

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've planned ahead. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Kingston escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Kingston, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container 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 chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
