Cheap Flights to Askim from HK$1,058

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a worry-free start to your vacation in Askim.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you pack the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always opt for flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Askim, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, 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 before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Traveling with a new cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can keep it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
