Cheap Flights to Koper from HK$597

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Koper could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, 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:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Koper, here you come:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
