Cheap Flights to Norman from HK$8,409

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Norman escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, important documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and pick closed-toe, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Norman a breeze. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• 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 before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
