Cheap Flights to Dayville from HK$3,721

If you're not prepared, airports and flying 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 Dayville. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged 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.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Dayville before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, 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), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
