Cheap Flights to Pomona from HK$995

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Pomona.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple --- first, put in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked luggage.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Wear compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Pomona, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• 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 suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
