Cheap Flights to Westmont from HK$541

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will help get your Westmont escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Westmont quick and painless. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
