Cheap Flights to Zaghouan from HK$1,290

If you're not prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Zaghouan.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin. Pick a pair of well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your checked baggage.
• Most of us have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to lower your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water often and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Zaghouan, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
