Cheap Flights to Bang Sai from HK$337

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Bang Sai could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Choose shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your getaway to Bang Sai quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
