Cheap Flights to Akwidaa from HK$9,854

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy hints that will get your Akwidaa holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Akwidaa easy and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? 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 OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
