Cheap Flights to Kukës from HK$136

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Kukës. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids 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 choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kukës in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
