Cheap Flights to Ellerbe from HK$701

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a comfortable start to your time in Ellerbe.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed 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 good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and move your legs and feet. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being organized before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Ellerbe a pleasure. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
