Cheap Flights to Passais-Villages from HK$282

If you're poorly prepared, travelling can be testing. But there's no need to panic. Follow these helpful hints and enjoy a hassle-free start to your time in Passais-Villages. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free travel experience is to plan ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling book. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are closed-toe, flat and easy to remove.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've rounded up some top tips for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Passais-Villages, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
