Cheap Flights to Indian Rocks Beach from HK$660

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Indian Rocks Beach. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Indian Rocks Beach easy and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater 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 luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
