Cheap Flights to Watertown from HK$6,706

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Watertown holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's all about being organised. We've put together some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Watertown, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all 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. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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 in the cabin.
