Cheap Flights to Damnica from HK$134

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. We've made a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Damnica holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Damnica, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
