Cheap Flights to Karak from HK$445

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Karak. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your trip to Karak a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. 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 technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? 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 permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
