Cheap Flights to Catarman from HK$314

We've got the lowdown on how to make your journey as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Catarman in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, make room in your bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, spray paint and fireworks. Sporting equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer your clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Catarman a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents 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 on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
