Cheap Flights to Watkinsville from HK$585

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Watkinsville could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Watkinsville easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
