Cheap Flights to Coal City from HK$953

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Coal City could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left for other occasions. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Coal City a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
