Cheap Flights to Chillicothe from HK$4,596

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Chillicothe escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Chillicothe before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
