Cheap Flights to Sleman from HK$1,496

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will help get your Sleman vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a quick nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and firearms, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of a plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and remember to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Sleman, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the queue.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
