Cheap Flights to Dexter from HK$1,759

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Dexter vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket just in case you get cold. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks, drink plenty of water and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Dexter, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
