Cheap Flights to Cartersville from HK$5,695

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Cartersville could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a good read. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Cartersville quick and painless. Here are some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
