Cheap Flights to Fort Walton Beach from HK$845

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Fort Walton Beach before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organised before your flight can make your getaway to Fort Walton Beach easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
