Cheap Flights to Pegomas from HK$357

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a stress-free start to your time in Pegomas. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in the bottom of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in cabin temperature by wearing layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being organised before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Pegomas a piece of cake. Below you'll find some handy hints for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
