Cheap Flights to Al Awir from HK$424

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Al Awir could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Al Awir, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• 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 jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? Not a 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, you can bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
