Cheap Flights to Imber from HK$343

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a hassle-free start to your getaway in Imber. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Imber, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
