Cheap Flights to Tarboro from HK$886

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Tarboro holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Tarboro a pleasure. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your ID and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
