Cheap Flights to Ba from HK$1,208

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a worry-free start to your vacation in Ba.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight often lies in your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like high heels and sandals are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and wander the aisles as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ba in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
