Cheap Flights to Quitman from HK$1,359

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Quitman.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover just in case you get chilly. Always opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help minimize this risk.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Quitman, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
