Cheap Flights to Guediawaye from HK$2,539

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Guediawaye could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Guediawaye, here you come:

• Have your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take 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), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
