Cheap Flights to Jayena from HK$409

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. Follow these essential travel tips that will help get your Jayena holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

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

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Jayena before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne? Not a 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 luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
