Cheap Flights to Djerba Midun from HK$5,666

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your holiday in Djerba Midun. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Djerba Midun in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices must also go through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
