Cheap Flights to Corydon from HK$1,308

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your time in Corydon. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Corydon in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
