Cheap Flights to Rasa from HK$251

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Rasa. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries 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 airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organised before your flight will make your trip to Rasa easy and painless. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• 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 earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
