Cheap Flights to Donora from HK$464

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Donora could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Donora in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
