Cheap Flights to Serian from HK$388

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Serian could be completely stress-free or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The trick is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Serian before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's 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 your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
