Cheap Flights to Äänekoski from HK$7,005

If you're not prepared, travelling can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your holiday in Äänekoski. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive feeling fresh and raring to go.

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 your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Äänekoski in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
