Cheap Flights to Al Khulaydiyah from HK$2,819

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Al Khulaydiyah vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good novel. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and take a sweater as it can get chilly inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Al Khulaydiyah a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
