Cheap Flights to Kampung Batu Garang from HK$549

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy hints that will get your Kampung Batu Garang holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a cruisy experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kampung Batu Garang in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp objects to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
