Cheap Flights to Newhope from HK$3,047

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Newhope before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help lower your risk.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Newhope, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
