Cheap Flights to Mount Pearl from HK$5,898

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've prepared well enough. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Mount Pearl vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• It's likely you've heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are plenty of ways to lessen your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay well hydrated and remember to keep your legs and feet moving. Wander around the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Mount Pearl, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
