Cheap Flights to Nong Tong from HK$398

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Nong Tong could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your important medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Nong Tong before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Have your travel documents and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume? No 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're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
