Cheap Flights to Pili from HK$593

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well organized. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Pili escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a phone filled with your favorite shows are some fantastic options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and poisons, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Layer yourself up in natural fibers and take a cardigan just in case you get cold. Go for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and hiking boots in your checked luggage.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are proven ways to lower your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, walk up and down the aisles as often as possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's simple --- be prepared. We've put together some helpful hints for an easy trip through security. Watch out Pili, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like 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, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
