Cheap Flights to Bohicon from HK$6,862

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of handy tips that will get your Bohicon holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and something to read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by wearing layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Bohicon a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips for a swift journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
