Cheap Flights to Kubang Kerian from HK$589

If you're not prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a comfortable start to your time in Kubang Kerian.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and pack a cardigan in case you get cold. Opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kubang Kerian in a flash. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a fantastic start:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
