Cheap Flights to Pinner from HK$2,638

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pinner could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, find a spot in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and perhaps a cosy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and gasoline, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The answer is — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Pinner, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't hold up the line.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
