Cheap Flights to Capljina from HK$4,857

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Follow these top travel tips that will get your Capljina holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Capljina in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
