Cheap Flights to Penticton from HK$210

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Penticton.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you bring the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, find a spot in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort really should be your priority when picking what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear choice carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• The serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking up and down the aisle and doing leg and foot exercises in your seat helps to prevent this from occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks or tights may also help.

It's all about being prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Penticton, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents within close reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
