Cheap Flights to Ilijas from HK$1,110

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ilijas could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your prime concern when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet can be a side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are your best bet.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as much as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Ilijas in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a flying start:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
