Cheap Flights to Taylorsville from HK$929

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Taylorsville escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Taylorsville a pleasure. We've compiled some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
