Cheap Flights to Colfax from HK$4,226

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will help get your Colfax vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple --- first, pack in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The secret is to be well organized before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Colfax in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a great start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
