Cheap Flights to Jefferson from HK$551

If you're not prepared, traveling can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Jefferson.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack 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 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Jefferson in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required 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.
• Traveling with a new cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
