Cheap Flights to Panes from HK$495

If you're not prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a trouble-free start to your time in Panes.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a magazine. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight can be as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left for other occasions. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to reduce the risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression tights or socks.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Panes in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your vacation off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your hand luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked baggage.
