Cheap Flights to Lincoln from HK$5,686

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Lincoln could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before your flight can make your getaway to Lincoln easy and painless. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
