Cheap Flights to Pack from HK$2,083

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Pack could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free travel experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to bring a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your legs and feet moving.

Being prepared before your flight will help make your getaway to Pack a piece of cake. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're allowed to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
