Cheap Flights to Pinellas Park from HK$779

If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in Pinellas Park. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Pinellas Park a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with a new cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
