Cheap Flights to Amara from HK$403

If you're not prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your getaway in Amara. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Amara easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
