Cheap Flights to Otego from HK$541

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Otego.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a good choice too.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Otego in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
