Cheap Flights to DeLand from HK$821

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your DeLand escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray 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. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out DeLand, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's 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.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be 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 to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
