Cheap Flights to Tangkak from HK$449

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will help get your Tangkak holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you take the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find room in your carry-on bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, closed-toe footwear like sneakers.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Tangkak a breeze. Below you'll find some top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• 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 and will be confiscated.
