Cheap Flights to Adia from HK$1,367

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your vacation in Adia.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

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

• Keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
