Cheap Flights to Kobarid from HK$420

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Kobarid could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Kobarid quick and painless. Read through our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
