Cheap Flights to Cartersville from HK$1,307

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy tips that will help get your Cartersville holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Cartersville a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• 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 as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
