Cheap Flights to Penajam from HK$1,123

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. Follow these top travel tips that will help get your Penajam holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, any vital medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and remember to bring a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Penajam a piece of cake. Here are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't have to dig around for them.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
