Cheap Flights to Tryphena from HK$1,255

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your holiday in Tryphena. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Tryphena a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
