Cheap Flights to Phra Achan from HK$499

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight a stress-free experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and seeing the best of Phra Achan in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will help make your trip to Phra Achan a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
