Cheap Flights to Oakland Park from HK$465

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Oakland Park could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good idea.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Oakland Park easy and painless. Here are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Traveling with a new hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
