Cheap Flights to Pine Valley from HK$2,456

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as pain-free as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be speeding through airport security and having a blast in Pine Valley in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to catch more than just forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, flares and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by wearing layers, and pick slightly roomy, flat footwear like slip-ons.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Pine Valley in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your holiday off to a fantastic start:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand and nail cream? No 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, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Safety boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
