Cheap Flights to Howwood from HK$283

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Howwood.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression socks or tights, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Howwood in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
