Cheap Flights to Kaster from HK$3,078

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Kaster. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember 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 knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by donning layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Kaster, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
