Cheap Flights to Hugh Town from HK$4,165

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Hugh Town could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Hugh Town a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
