Cheap Flights to Sirak from HK$104

If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a stress-free start to your getaway in Sirak. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance 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 tights or socks.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Sirak easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
