Cheap Flights to Oke Odan from HK$1,059

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your getaway in Oke Odan.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked baggage.
• A serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Oke Odan in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, 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), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
