Cheap Flights to Komiza from HK$597

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Komiza could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good read. Secondly, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, medications and maybe a cosy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ice skates, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your trip to Komiza easy and painless. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be presented to security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with a new perfume? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
