Cheap Flights to Tal Shahar from HK$1,693

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Tal Shahar could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help reduce this risk.

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

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
