Cheap Flights to Coon Rapids from HK$2,193

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Coon Rapids escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Coon Rapids a breeze. We've compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
