Cheap Flights to Petty France from HK$725

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Petty France could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next great escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean pair of socks and a good book. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pack a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a wise idea.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks can also help.

Being prepared before your flight can make your getaway to Petty France quick and painless. Read through our top tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• 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 such as your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be asked to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
