Cheap Flights to Chai Nat from HK$464

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Chai Nat could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a sweater as it can get chilly in the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• A condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a quality pair of compression tights or socks can also help.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Chai Nat in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Keep your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
