Cheap Flights to Sahl Hasheeh from HK$368

If you're not prepared, air travel can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your holiday in Sahl Hasheeh. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare change of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Look out Sahl Hasheeh, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
