Cheap Flights to Owaka from HK$395

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your vacation in Owaka.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pack a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• You've probably heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear compression socks, drink lots of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Owaka in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
