Cheap Flights to Cody from HK$3,287

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Cody. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Cody, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
