Cheap Flights to Pasay from HK$179

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be a real challenge. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a pain-free start to your getaway in Pasay.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a pleasure if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, any daily medications and perhaps a proper neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your highest priority when picking what to wear on board. Consider your choice of footwear carefully too, as swelling of the feet and ankles are quite common. Flat shoes which are slightly roomy are your best bet.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-distance flights. The good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, wander around the cabin whenever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some useful tips for a hassle-free trip through airport security. Watch out Pasay, here you come:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked bags.
