Cheap Flights to Newham from HK$303

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be breezing through the airport and exploring Newham in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your trip to Newham easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
