Cheap Flights to Fajara from HK$5,843

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Fajara.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a good book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and pack a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also recommended.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Fajara in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
