Cheap Flights to Stanton from HK$3,242

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Stanton. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you take the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Stanton easy and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater 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 bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
