Cheap Flights to Paldiski from HK$549

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Paldiski could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack in your passport, travel documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you step off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to be as comfortable as possible. Dress in loose, natural-fiber clothing and pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of flat, well-fitting shoes as your feet may swell during the journey. Leave the high heels and chunky boots in your main luggage.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander through the cabin whenever possible and wear compression tights or socks.

Being organized before you get to the airport will make your getaway to Paldiski a pleasure. Below are some handy tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to determine that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• There's a good chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked baggage.
