Cheap Flights to Pin Mill from HK$423

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Pin Mill vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you take the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and a good read. Secondly, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your aircraft are no fashion runway. Wear comfortable clothes and remember to take a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

The answer is simple — be organized. We've rounded up some tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Pin Mill, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
