Cheap Flights to Kauns from HK$952

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your holiday in Kauns. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

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 compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Kauns, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and ID within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
