Cheap Flights to Prairie Village from HK$931

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Prairie Village in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Prairie Village easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
