Cheap Flights to Baclayon from HK$309

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Baclayon vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a magazine. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like ice skates, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be the goal when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen feet are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this happening. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks is also recommended.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Baclayon a piece of cake. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
