Cheap Flights to Bidarray from HK$1,841

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bidarray could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a short nap, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray 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 matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As seasoned 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 Bidarray in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
