Cheap Flights to Hardeeville from HK$2,856

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

• The secret to having an awesome travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are flat and easy to remove.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Hardeeville in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
