Cheap Flights to Ajuy from HK$620

If you're not prepared, travelling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your holiday in Ajuy. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ajuy in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater 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 bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
