Cheap Flights to Gombong from HK$972

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Gombong vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a magazine. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swollen feet are quite common. Roomy, closed-toed shoes are your best bet.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Gombong a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
