Cheap Flights to Piedmont from HK$760

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Piedmont could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet and ankles are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Piedmont a pleasure. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
