Cheap Flights to Goodyear from HK$1,205

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Goodyear could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Watch out Goodyear, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
