Cheap Flights to Franklin from HK$1,594

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

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice of clothing. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce the risk.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Franklin a piece of cake. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
