Cheap Flights to Airan from HK$6,545

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Airan could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Airan a breeze. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
