Cheap Flights to Tha Bo from HK$211

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Tha Bo escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, travel documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some facial wipes so you'll arrive looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin starts to cool down. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks or tights also helps reduce the risk.

Being organized before your flight will help make your getaway to Tha Bo a breeze. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear 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 clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
