Cheap Flights to Winnsboro from HK$1,626

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Winnsboro escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Winnsboro in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
