Cheap Flights to Sweeny from HK$1,251

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips that will get your Sweeny escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

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 by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Sweeny, here you come:

• Keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
