Cheap Flights to Kampung Padang Ubi from HK$134

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a hassle-free start to your holiday in Kampung Padang Ubi. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an amazing travel experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like your laptop or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and choose shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to pull on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Kampung Padang Ubi a pleasure. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
