Cheap Flights to Henryville from HK$2,415

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy hints that will help get your Henryville holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Henryville, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
