Cheap Flights to Pleasantville from HK$2,193

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Pleasantville escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a cardigan in case you get cold. Always opt for roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your luggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and wander the aisles as much as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Pleasantville a breeze. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
