Cheap Flights to Lusail from HK$650

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Lusail could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a jacket just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• The condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

Being organized before your flight will help make your trip to Lusail a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
