Cheap Flights to Pér from HK$294

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. Check out these essential travel tips that will get your Pér holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, travel documents, cash and important medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and fuels, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be boarding that plane to Pér in next to no time. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Security personnel first need to establish that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked luggage.
