Cheap Flights to Sa Coma from HK$128

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Sa Coma escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a pain-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to take a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sa Coma in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
