Cheap Flights to Stip from HK$1,105

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your holiday in Stip. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Stip, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
