Cheap Flights to Mansfield from HK$788

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Mansfield could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

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 nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure 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. Don layers of natural fibers and bring a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Wander around the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight will make your getaway to Mansfield a breeze. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. 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, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes 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 or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
