Cheap Flights to Sandra from HK$395

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a comfortable start to your holiday in Sandra. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Sandra easy and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
