Cheap Flights to Guagua from HK$292

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Guagua could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good idea too.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long-haul flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your trip to Guagua a breeze. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remember to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
