Cheap Flights to Cherating from HK$421

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be breezing through airport security and enjoying Cherating in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Cherating in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
