Cheap Flights to Hernani from HK$4,122

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints for a stress-free start to your time in Hernani. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you entertained, like your laptop or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like tools, metal cutlery, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by dressing in layers, and opt for flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Hernani, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Keep them close by.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
