Cheap Flights to East Moline from HK$1,800

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your East Moline escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will make your getaway to East Moline a pleasure. We've compiled some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
