Cheap Flights to Whitsett from HK$1,005

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Whitsett.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Whitsett, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
