Cheap Flights to Thung Song from HK$246

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be tough. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a pain-free start to your getaway in Thung Song.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a sweater as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to wander around the cabin. Compression socks and tights are also a great idea to help minimize this risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Thung Song a pleasure. Below are some useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your belt, jacket and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
