Cheap Flights to Bacacay from HK$923

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips and tricks that will help get your Bacacay escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. It's also a wise idea to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Last but not least, don't forget to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a clean T-shirt.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and objects that could harm passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Bacacay quick and painless. Check out our handy tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Have your passport and travel documents at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when going through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
