Cheap Flights to Canyon Country from HK$1,136

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Canyon Country could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Canyon Country quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
