Cheap Flights to Naval from HK$1,248

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

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an aircraft are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce your risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Naval before you know it. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
