Cheap Flights to Greeley from HK$1,390

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Greeley holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Greeley in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
