Cheap Flights to Barlad from HK$786

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Barlad could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a stress-free experience if you pack the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. 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 products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

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

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
