Cheap Flights to Fortuna from HK$309

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a hassle-free start to your vacation in Fortuna.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, official ID, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a phone filled with your favorite shows are good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, drink plenty of water and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Fortuna a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
