Cheap Flights to Sylhet from HK$859

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Sylhet could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right gear. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

The secret is to be prepared before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Sylhet before you know it. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a terrific start:

• Have your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, check them in.
