Cheap Flights to Na Khu from HK$291

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Na Khu could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy hints that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are enclosed, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Na Khu, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics also need to be sent through the scanner.
• 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 zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
