Cheap Flights to Kesan from HK$1,366

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your holiday in Kesan. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some great options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready 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 to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kesan in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
