Cheap Flights to Flowood from HK$3,071

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a stress-free start to your time in Flowood.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Flowood in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne or perfume? 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, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
