Cheap Flights to Emory from HK$3,954

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Emory could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and don't forget to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

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

• Have your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
