Cheap Flights to Newfoundland from HK$1,281

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Newfoundland could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room 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:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Newfoundland a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
