Cheap Flights to Bonaberi from HK$2,252

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints for a comfortable start to your time in Bonaberi. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be easy if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and pick closed-toe, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul 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 tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bonaberi in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
