Cheap Flights to Mansfield from HK$293

If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Mansfield.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Mansfield, here you come:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
