Cheap Flights to Hao

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Hao could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Hao, here you come:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
