Cheap Flights to Nova Vas from HK$574

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and having a blast in Nova Vas in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance 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 or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Nova Vas a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
