Cheap Flights to Pircha from HK$2,600

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Follow these handy tips and tricks that will get your Pircha escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel documents, credit cards and medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like your laptop or a thrilling book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in one of the compartments of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, such as bleach and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as possible. Don layers of breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Opt for a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy boots in your main luggage.
• Most travelers have heard about DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a few laps of the cabin or perform some stretches in your seat.

The answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Pircha, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your earphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Don't forget to remove liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked bags.
