Cheap Flights to Kumbla from HK$1,396

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Kumbla could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some useful tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you take the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive products, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by layering up, and wear flat, enclosed shoes like sneakers.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

The secret is to be prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Kumbla in no time at all. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Have your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater 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 valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
