Cheap Flights to Kini from HK$352

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kini could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kini in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
