Cheap Flights to Glyndon from HK$931

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Glyndon could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Glyndon, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
