Cheap Flights to Pero from HK$2,228

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Pero.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favorite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your number one priority when selecting what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swollen ankles and feet are quite common. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this developing. Wearing a pair of compression socks or tights can also help.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Pero a breeze. We've compiled some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
