Cheap Flights to Nebraska City from HK$778

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Nebraska City could be completely painless or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and pick flat, enclosed footwear like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Nebraska City in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
