Cheap Flights to Dayton from HK$5,536

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Dayton could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Dayton, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner 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.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
