Cheap Flights to Christiana from HK$636

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these tips and tricks for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Christiana. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, important documents, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Christiana in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, 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 inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
