Cheap Flights to White Sulphur Springs from HK$3,522

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your White Sulphur Springs escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to White Sulphur Springs easy and painless. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
