Cheap Flights to Fintas from HK$431

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

• Air travel can be easy if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long-haul is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To avoid this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another great idea to help minimize this risk.

The answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Fintas, here you come:

• Keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
