Cheap Flights to Qena from HK$1,310

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Qena escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Qena a breeze. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to have your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
