Cheap Flights to Rif from HK$551

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Rif could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are no fashion runway. Don comfortable layers and remember to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks can also help.

The trick is to be well organized before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Rif in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
