Cheap Flights to Watonga from HK$5,743

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy hints that will get your Watonga holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze 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) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Dress in comfortable layers and choose shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Watonga, here you come:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
