Cheap Flights to Bo Kluea from HK$488

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bo Kluea could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as your clothing choices. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets chilly. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your checked suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. The good news is there are ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Bo Kluea in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
