Cheap Flights to Bago from HK$1,199

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these handy travel tips that will help get your Bago holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some fantastic options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll 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 hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Bago a pleasure. Below are some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass within close reach. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with a new cologne? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
