Cheap Flights to Pomena from HK$398

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pomena could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. We've pulled together some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free flight experience is to plan ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and vital medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like your laptop or a good book. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your plane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are always a good idea too.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, wander around the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Pomena quick and painless. Below you'll find some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid passport and matching boarding pass before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Traveling with a new perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on baggage.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
