Cheap Flights to Khlong Sok from HK$378

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of handy hints that will help get your Khlong Sok holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and choose shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your trip to Khlong Sok a piece of cake. Here are some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
