Cheap Flights to New Carrollton from HK$1,029

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your New Carrollton vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some great options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to New Carrollton a piece of cake. Read through our useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
