Cheap Flights to Pecs from HK$206

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well prepared. We've put together a list of handy tips that will help get your Pecs holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a cruisy experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Secondly, find room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Pecs, here you come:

• Be sure to have your travel documents and ID at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned separately.
• Travelling with your favourite perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you on board.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on luggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
