Cheap Flights to Trabia from HK$899

If you're not prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a pain-free start to your holiday in Trabia. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Trabia, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
