Cheap Flights to Ooltewah from HK$2,360

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Ooltewah holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ooltewah before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger 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 luggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
