Cheap Flights to Canamares from HK$1,188

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Canamares. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Canamares, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
