Cheap Flights to Bucine from HK$1,233

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

• First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you intend to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach security. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Bucine in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
