Cheap Flights to Clairton from HK$1,361

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your holiday in Clairton. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before your flight can make your getaway to Clairton easy and painless. Check out our handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
