Cheap Flights to Tounsi from HK$348

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Tounsi could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and opt for flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Tounsi easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
