Cheap Flights to Rock Spring from HK$2,802

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your holiday in Rock Spring. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

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. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Rock Spring, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a 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 allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
