Cheap Flights to Perea from HK$402

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Perea could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, put in your passport, travel documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch more than just forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and wear flat, closed-toe shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Perea easy and painless. Below are some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
