Cheap Flights to Boyolali from HK$680

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and seeing the best of Boyolali in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Boyolali in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
