Cheap Flights to Orange Springs from HK$7,034

If you're not prepared, travelling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your holiday in Orange Springs. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Orange Springs in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
