Cheap Flights to Pomfret from HK$3,166

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Pomfret escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Traveling on a plane can be easy if you bring the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, make room in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are always a good idea.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are many ways to minimize your risk. Wear a pair of compression socks, drink plenty of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Pomfret, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be scanned separately.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
