Cheap Flights to Jelsa from HK$397

If you're not prepared, travelling can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a worry-free start to your holiday in Jelsa. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you take the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Jelsa a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. 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 the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
