Cheap Flights to Vernon from HK$453

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and having a blast in Vernon before you know it.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Vernon before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
