Cheap Flights to Sandford from HK$386

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Sandford.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy work well.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sandford in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
