Cheap Flights to Guinda from HK$1,168

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a pleasant start to your vacation in Guinda.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink lots of water and get your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your getaway to Guinda a breeze. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
