Cheap Flights to Baytown from HK$802

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Baytown holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Baytown a breeze. Check out our handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
