Cheap Flights to Kabwe from HK$1,247

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

• A plane ride can be a comfortable experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a pullover in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Kabwe in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
