Cheap Flights to Ban Bueng from HK$480

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your getaway in Ban Bueng.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to make yourself as comfortable as possible. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and remember to bring a cardigan in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Always go with flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There are many ways to reduce your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

It's all about being organized. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Ban Bueng, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to additional 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 baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
