Cheap Flights to Brownsville from HK$5,401

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Brownsville could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

It's easy --- be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Brownsville, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
