Cheap Flights to Thisvi from HK$294

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Thisvi. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Thisvi a pleasure. Below are some top tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
