Cheap Flights to Gadin from HK$139

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Gadin.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when picking what to wear on board. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a smart option.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Gadin, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
