Cheap Flights to Jatiarjo from HK$519

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Jatiarjo holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm other people, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

Being organised before your flight will help make your getaway to Jatiarjo easy and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
