Cheap Flights to Denpasar from HK$398

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will help get your Denpasar holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to slip on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Denpasar quick and painless. We've rounded up some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Have your passport and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
