Cheap Flights to Siazan from HK$844

If you're not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your holiday in Siazan. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Siazan a breeze. Check out our handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
