Cheap Flights to Brandon from HK$3,625

If you're not prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a pleasant start to your vacation in Brandon.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will appreciate it.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another easy way to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Brandon a breeze. Below you'll find some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember 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 in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
