Cheap Flights to Strängnäs from HK$687

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

• A plane ride can be easy if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, any vital medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

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 in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Closed-toed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Strangnas, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• 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 in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must 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. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
