Cheap Flights to New Brockton from HK$3,920

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your getaway in New Brockton. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out New Brockton, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
