Cheap Flights to Phetchaburi from HK$166

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Phetchaburi escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural-fiber clothing and remember to pack a jacket in case it gets cold in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the stilettos and hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The great news is there are proven ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander through the cabin as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Phetchaburi in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• 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 luggage.
