Cheap Flights to Chambersburg from HK$1,824

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your holiday in Chambersburg. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Chambersburg in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
