Cheap Flights to Westport from HK$4,692

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Westport.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Westport in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
