Cheap Flights to Tema from HK$2,450

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a trouble-free start to your vacation in Tema.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you later.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, drink lots of water often and get your legs and feet moving. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Tema a piece of cake. Below are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
