Cheap Flights to Vidin from HK$302

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Vidin could be simple and straightforward or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, find room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, 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:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and opt for flat, enclosed shoes like slip-ons.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Vidin in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
