Cheap Flights to Plankinton from HK$5,719

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Plankinton. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Plankinton a pleasure. Read through our handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
