Cheap Flights to Pijijiapan from HK$4,039

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Pijijiapan could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, bank cards and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like your laptop or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a clean set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like ski poles, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and ammunition, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and opt for easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Pijijiapan, here you come:

• Have your travel documents and passport someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to present to security.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on luggage.
• There's a chance you'll be asked to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
