Cheap Flights to Ashdod from HK$581

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will help get your Ashdod escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are plenty of ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Ashdod, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
