Cheap Flights to Whitesboro from HK$3,314

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Whitesboro holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be well organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Whitesboro before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
