Cheap Flights to Premana from HK$187

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Check out these handy tips and tricks that will get your Premana holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes box cutters, razor blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Opt for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

The trick is to be well organised before you get to security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Premana before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a terrific start:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to security personnel. Keep them at hand so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
