Cheap Flights to Whitestone from HK$4,074

If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pleasant start to your vacation in Whitestone.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

The trick is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Whitestone in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
