Cheap Flights to Chancay from HK$343

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're prepared. Follow these handy tips that will help get your Chancay vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you've got all the right things. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to take 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 air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of your airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of long-distance flying is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs. Compression tights and socks are another great idea to help lower your risk.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Chancay a breeze. Read through our handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
