Cheap Flights to Fort Recovery from HK$1,724

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Fort Recovery holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The secret is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Fort Recovery in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
