Cheap Flights to Golbasi from HK$296

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well. Follow these handy tips that will get your Golbasi vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural-fiber clothing and pack a pullover in case it gets cool. Go for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your luggage.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks may also help.

It's all about being organized. We've put together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Golbasi, here you come:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the queue.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
