Cheap Flights to Wakarusa from HK$6,811

If you're not prepared, travelling can be challenging. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Wakarusa. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and pick shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Wakarusa a pleasure. Check out our top tips for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your travel documents and ID easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your 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 in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
