Cheap Flights to Perai from HK$197

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these tips and tricks and enjoy a worry-free start to your getaway in Perai. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to pack in advance. Start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up, and opt for flat, slightly roomy shoes 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. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

The trick is to be well prepared before you reach airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Perai in no time flat. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Have your travel documents and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
