Cheap Flights to Port Howe from HK$1,370

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Port Howe could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful hints that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be easy if you pack the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as guns and swords, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to be as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get cold in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Walk around the cabin and give your legs a stretch or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

Being prepared before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Port Howe a piece of cake. Check out our useful tips for a swift journey past security:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings such as your belt, jacket and earphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
