Cheap Flights to Kouaoua from HK$5,285

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kouaoua could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a sensible choice.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and get your legs and feet moving. Walk the aisles of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you arrive at security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kouaoua before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
