Cheap Flights to Jonesville from HK$5,906

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've made a list of handy hints that will get your Jonesville holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

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 liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Jonesville in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
