Cheap Flights to Porter from HK$3,882

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Porter could be a piece of cake 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:

• Flying can be a pleasure if you carry the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a fresh change of clothes and a good book. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your bank cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Don comfortable layers and don't forget to bring a sweater as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good idea.
• Unfortunately, one risk of flying long distances is developing DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To avoid this, take every opportunity to stretch your legs and walk around the cabin. Compression tights and socks are another easy way to help reduce this risk.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport can make your trip to Porter a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic gadgets will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
