Cheap Flights to Pergo from HK$1,568

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy travel tips that will get your Pergo escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your lower limbs often.

The answer is simple — be organised. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through airport security. Watch out Pergo, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and passport close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
