Cheap Flights to Johor Bahru from HK$192

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Johor Bahru could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be well organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Johor Bahru in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, 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 phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
