Cheap Flights to Ban Broh from HK$436

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Ban Broh escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and swords, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Ban Broh in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. 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 scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
