Cheap Flights to Zas from HK$1,208

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will get your Zas holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, travel documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Zas, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned.
• Travelling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
