Cheap Flights to Talla from HK$479

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Talla. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and go for shoes that are flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Talla in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• 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 baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
