Cheap Flights to Shimoni from HK$1,535

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Shimoni could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Shimoni in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Have your ID and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good 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 in the cabin.
