Cheap Flights to Pieranica from HK$503

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've put together a list of handy travel tips that will help get your Pieranica escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a laptop filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by dressing in layers, and wear flat, slightly roomy shoes like slip-ons.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression tights or socks and move your lower limbs often.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Pieranica, here you come:

• Keep your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• It's also likely that you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
