Cheap Flights to Guegon from HK$1,736

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a worry-free start to your getaway in Guegon. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Pick a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Guegon, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
