Cheap Flights to Pacific from HK$851

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Pacific could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Below are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop filled with your favorite movies are good options. If you plan to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and remember to take a sweater as the temperature can drop in the cabin. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• Most travelers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's plenty you can do to mitigate your risk. Wear a good-quality pair of compression socks, stay well hydrated and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through airport security. Look out Pacific, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
