Cheap Flights to Pelican from HK$4,321

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're prepared. We've made a list of essential travel tips that will get your Pelican vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find a spot in your hand luggage for your phone and charger, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Closed-toed, flat shoes are always a good choice too.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long flights is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To prevent this, make the most of every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are also a great idea to help reduce this risk.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Pelican, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big 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, put them in your checked luggage.
