Cheap Flights to Nakhon Chum from HK$403

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Nakhon Chum could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

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 liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to feel as comfortable as possible. Don layers of natural fibers and don't forget to pack a cardigan in case it gets cool. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as your feet may swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to significantly reduce the risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander around the cabin as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The trick is to be prepared before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Nakhon Chum in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Your boarding pass and passport will need to be inspected by airport security. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, 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.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
