Cheap Flights to Washington Boro from HK$6,553

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Washington Boro holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your trip to Washington Boro quick and painless. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
