Cheap Flights to Poteet from HK$1,093

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your holiday in Poteet. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Poteet in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
