Cheap Flights to New Edinburg from HK$1,802

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your New Edinburg escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to New Edinburg easy and painless. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
