Cheap Flights to Singhanakhon from HK$699

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Singhanakhon escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, official ID, wallet and daily medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a quick snooze, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your aircraft are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and bring a sweater as it can get quite cool inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of flying long-haul is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

It's all about being organized. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Look out Singhanakhon, here you come:

• Be sure to have your passport and travel documents within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with a new perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• The right choice of footwear can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style 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 objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
