Cheap Flights to Port Charlotte from HK$5,516

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Port Charlotte in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Port Charlotte in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
