Cheap Flights to Wekiva Springs from HK$899

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Wekiva Springs. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Wekiva Springs in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
