Cheap Flights to Irsina from HK$797

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Irsina. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, official ID, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Look out Irsina, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
