Cheap Flights to Tijola from HK$499

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Tijola escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Tijola easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
