Cheap Flights to Newport from HK$8,778

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Newport in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Newport in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
