Cheap Flights to Kotor from HK$4,275

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Kotor could be completely painless or it could go on forever. We've put together some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an amazing flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a thrilling book. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by donning layers, and wear easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kotor in no time flat. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the queue.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, must also be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
