Cheap Flights to Ilok from HK$4,422

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organised. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Ilok escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Ilok a breeze. We've rounded up some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
