Cheap Flights to Umuoji from HK$4,615

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy hints for a pleasant start to your holiday in Umuoji. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Umuoji, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
