Cheap Flights to Sona from HK$450

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your time in Sona. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Sona a pleasure. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything 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.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring 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.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
