Cheap Flights to Prachin Buri from HK$479

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and having a ball in Prachin Buri in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as bleach and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Prachin Buri, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• 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 bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
