Cheap Flights to Neringa from HK$1,784

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a worry-free start to your time in Neringa. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The secret is to be well prepared before you get to security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Neringa in a flash. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
