Cheap Flights to Hamala from HK$849

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through the airport and enjoying Hamala in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Hamala, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• 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 jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
