Cheap Flights to Furaveri from HK$485

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pain-free start to your time in Furaveri. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your important medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and choose shoes that are flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Furaveri quick and painless. Here are some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
