Cheap Flights to Sidoarjo from HK$911

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Sidoarjo. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

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

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Sidoarjo a breeze. Read through our handy hints for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and travel ID will need to be shown to security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
