Cheap Flights to Podcetrtek from HK$1,076

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Podcetrtek could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've put together some handy hints that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Podcetrtek quick and painless. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a speedy journey past security:

• Keep your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board.
