Cheap Flights to Gadsden from HK$1,552

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Gadsden.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Gadsden, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take 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 passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
