Cheap Flights to Evansville from HK$6,449

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Evansville. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

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 or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Evansville a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
