Cheap Flights to Lexington from HK$852

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and having a blast in Lexington before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Lexington, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
