Cheap Flights to Pollocksville from HK$2,306

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your holiday in Pollocksville. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Pollocksville in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
