Cheap Flights to New Stanton from HK$985

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your getaway in New Stanton. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to New Stanton a breeze. Read through our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
