Cheap Flights to Saxnas from HK$1,371

If you're not prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a pain-free start to your getaway in Saxnas. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Saxnas, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
