Cheap Flights to Canoga Park from HK$357

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're well organized. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Canoga Park escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Canoga Park a piece of cake. Here are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
