Cheap Flights to Elkton from HK$4,192

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Elkton escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Elkton, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
