Cheap Flights to Westport from HK$1,326

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Westport in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

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

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
