Cheap Flights to Hamilton from HK$7,402

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Hamilton escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Hamilton in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
