Cheap Flights to New Castle from HK$1,808

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to New Castle could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to New Castle before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
