Cheap Flights to Boenen from HK$3,185

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Boenen could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. Here are some useful tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack in your passport, travel docs, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fuels, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Don layers of breathable clothing and bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Boenen in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
