Cheap Flights to Ketama from HK$1,673

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your holiday in Ketama. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Ketama a pleasure. We've rounded up some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? No 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, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
