Cheap Flights to Gatesville from HK$7,232

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Gatesville could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Gatesville, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
