Cheap Flights to Hijar from HK$408

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Hijar could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and don't forget to pack a sweater in case you get cold. Pick roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks may also help.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Hijar in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
