Cheap Flights to Waco from HK$16,911

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Waco.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple --- first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

The trick is to be well organized before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Waco in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without 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 zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
