Cheap Flights to Bonito from HK$1,202

If you're not prepared, travelling can be tough. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Bonito. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be well organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Bonito in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to keep your travel documents and passport within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with a new cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
