Cheap Flights to Van Ninh from HK$436

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Van Ninh could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your top priority is to feel as comfortable as possible. Pick flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Van Ninh in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
