Cheap Flights to Bryn Mawr from HK$2,930

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Bryn Mawr. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are always good options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Bryn Mawr in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
