Cheap Flights to Dry Ridge from HK$1,259

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Dry Ridge could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your prime concern when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Dry Ridge, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
