Cheap Flights to Ein Bokek from HK$1,187

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your getaway in Ein Bokek. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to be prepared. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a magazine. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organised before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Ein Bokek a pleasure. Check out our useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
