Cheap Flights to Paluel from HK$344

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

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, your medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fireworks and fuel. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to remove.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've put together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Paluel, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
