Cheap Flights to Klaten from HK$529

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Klaten holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and pick flat, slightly roomy shoes like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged 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 promote better circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Klaten, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
