Cheap Flights to Hernani from HK$1,393

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Hernani could be completely painless or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a stress-free experience if you carry the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your carry-on bag for your mobile phone, a charger, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, don't forget to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like baseball bats, and items that could injure passengers, such as swords and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your number one priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet can be a side effect of flying. Shoes which are flat and slightly roomy are your best bet.
• A condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

The secret is to be prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Hernani in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Keep them handy so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be separately scanned.
• Can't travel without your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
