Cheap Flights to Koupa from HK$551

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Koupa in no time at all.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a cruisy experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and take a pullover in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Koupa before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Have your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
