Cheap Flights to El-Tur from HK$696

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and exploring El-Tur in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out El-Tur, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
