Cheap Flights to Sharpsburg from HK$617

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a ball in Sharpsburg in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and pick flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before your flight will help make your trip to Sharpsburg easy and painless. Here are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with a new cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
