Cheap Flights to Augusta from HK$1,839

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and having a ball in Augusta before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat shoes like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Augusta a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, 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.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
