Cheap Flights to Bayah from HK$473

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bayah could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you take the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean pair of socks and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to pull on and off.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

The secret is to be well organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Bayah in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
