Cheap Flights to Choyang from HK$594

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a hassle-free start to your getaway in Choyang. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Choyang, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
