Cheap Flights to Sedalia from HK$1,250

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Sedalia could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sedalia in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
