Cheap Flights to Ha from HK$1,952

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of essential travel tips that will get your Ha escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• 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 or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ha before you know it. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Keep your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
