Cheap Flights to Circleville from HK$1,691

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Circleville could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Circleville in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
