Cheap Flights to Glendora from HK$2,905

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your getaway in Glendora. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Glendora, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
