Cheap Flights to Chom Thong from HK$184

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Chom Thong could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you later.
• The condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks can also help.

Being organized before you get to the airport can make your trip to Chom Thong a pleasure. We've rounded up some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
