Cheap Flights to Saint Nazianz from HK$1,996

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Saint Nazianz escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've put together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Saint Nazianz, here you come:

• Have your ID and travel documents easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels 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 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
