Cheap Flights to Batu Gajah from HK$540

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Batu Gajah could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good read. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a sensible way to go.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. There are numerous ways to reduce your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Do a few laps of the cabin or try out some exercises in your seat.

It's all about being prepared. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Batu Gajah, here you come:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
