Cheap Flights to Isa from HK$578

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Isa could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

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

The secret is to be prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Isa in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Have your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
