Cheap Flights to Dajla from HK$5,186

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will get your Dajla escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, 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. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Dajla, here you come:

• Be sure to have your ID and travel documents at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked bags.
