Cheap Flights to Varazdin from HK$744

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Varazdin could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and choose shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Varazdin quick and painless. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
