Cheap Flights to Tulamben from HK$358

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Tulamben could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some useful travel tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a juicy novel. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice with care too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a good idea.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help reduce this risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Tulamben easy and painless. Below you'll find some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
