Cheap Flights to Forest Grove from HK$926

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through the airport and exploring Forest Grove in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a pain-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Last but not least, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fireworks, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you reach security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Forest Grove before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a flying start:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort 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.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also possible you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
