Cheap Flights to Oneida from HK$2,383

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Oneida holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Oneida quick and painless. Here are some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
