Cheap Flights to Karu from HK$4,162

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and discovering Karu before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Karu, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
