Cheap Flights to Joal-Fadiout from HK$784

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Joal-Fadiout could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and pack a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are numerous ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Joal-Fadiout a breeze. Here are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
