Cheap Flights to Novo Mesto from HK$455

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Novo Mesto could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, important documents, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Novo Mesto, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
