Cheap Flights to Sargent from HK$5,104

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Sargent escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are always a smart option.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Sargent in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
