Cheap Flights to Greenback from HK$4,665

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Greenback could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to remove.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Greenback a breeze. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
