Cheap Flights to Habala from HK$532

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Habala.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin on long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Habala a breeze. Here are some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
