Cheap Flights to Prattsburgh from HK$14,167

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Prattsburgh could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Prattsburgh in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray 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-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
