Cheap Flights to Xouaxange from HK$1,689

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your holiday in Xouaxange. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting 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.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Xouaxange before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring 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.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
