Cheap Flights to Dĩ An from HK$382

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Dĩ An could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget 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 can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Dĩ An before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. 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 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
