Cheap Flights to Piggs Peak from HK$5,226

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Piggs Peak could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, boarding pass, credit cards and vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, be sure to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear on board. Loose clothing is a wise choice, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

Being organised before your flight will make your getaway to Piggs Peak easy and painless. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
