Cheap Flights to Biala Piska from HK$177

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Biala Piska. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a good read. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for an easy trip through airport security. Look out Biala Piska, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your coat, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
