Cheap Flights to Kothen from HK$1,048

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will get your Kothen escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a good read. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. And of course, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like ski poles, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and guns, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance travel is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help lower your risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Kothen quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
