Cheap Flights to Greenville from HK$10,895

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a comfortable start to your holiday in Greenville. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Greenville, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
