Cheap Flights to Inden from HK$757

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Inden holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will make your trip to Inden a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
