Cheap Flights to Gannat from HK$3,523

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these essential travel tips that will help get your Gannat holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Gannat a pleasure. Below are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
