Cheap Flights to Mountain Grove from HK$1,488

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your vacation in Mountain Grove.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and bring a jacket in case you get cold. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are proven ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Mountain Grove a piece of cake. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your boarding pass and passport someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
