Cheap Flights to Grand Prairie from HK$756

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be zooming through the airport and discovering Grand Prairie before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick flat, easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Watch out Grand Prairie, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
