Cheap Flights to Edgefield from HK$1,050

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Edgefield could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Edgefield, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
