Cheap Flights to Fredericksburg from HK$541

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Fredericksburg.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Fredericksburg in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, 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), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
