Cheap Flights to Lynchburg from HK$779

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Lynchburg holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Lynchburg a pleasure. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
