Cheap Flights to Pandaan from HK$557

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. We've made a list of top travel tips that will help get your Pandaan holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and opt for shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-distance flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

The secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Pandaan in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a spectacular start:

• Keep your travel documents and passport easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, 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-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
