Cheap Flights to Guirim from HK$276

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pain-free start to your getaway in Guirim. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you take the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Guirim quick and painless. Check out our useful tips for a swift journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Travelling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
