S$45 Cheap Flights to Na Ko

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a stress-free start to your holiday in Na Ko. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a few magazines. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a sharp object hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• The result of lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your lower limbs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Na Ko a piece of cake. Check out our handy hints for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to keep your passport and boarding pass at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Can't travel without your favourite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
