Cheap Flights to Gia Nghia from HK$1,372

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Gia Nghia could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Gia Nghia a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
