Cheap Flights to Ponti from HK$1,847

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Ponti could be no sweat at all or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good book. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to slip on and off.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Ponti a breeze. Below are some useful tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and passport easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
