Cheap Flights to Jijel from HK$5,422

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your holiday in Jijel. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember 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 pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

It's all about being organised. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Jijel, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close 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. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
