Cheap Flights to Parker from HK$4,145

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Parker could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite shows are good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight is often as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Parker before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
