Cheap Flights to Point Judith from HK$2,190

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Point Judith could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Point Judith before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
