Cheap Flights to Bullas from HK$269

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. Take a peek at these handy tips that will get your Bullas holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any vital medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bullas in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
