Cheap Flights to Edgewood from HK$1,017

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Edgewood could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Edgewood in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
