Cheap Flights to Kiambu from HK$1,407

If you're not prepared, traveling can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your vacation in Kiambu.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a cardigan in case you get cold. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, wander around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Kiambu a breeze. Read through our top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
