Cheap Flights to Don Phai from HK$625

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Don Phai.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite movies are some terrific options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be the goal when selecting what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear carefully too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. The great news is there are ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Don Phai a breeze. Here are some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
