Cheap Flights to Batu Pahat from HK$173

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Check out these handy tips that will get your Batu Pahat escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for a pair of flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Batu Pahat quick and painless. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring 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-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
