Cheap Flights to Bekasi from HK$542

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through airport security and discovering Bekasi in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earphones. And of course, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer up with loose, natural-fiber clothing and take a sweater in case it gets cool. Pick flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've pulled together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Bekasi, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them at hand to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. 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 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
