Cheap Flights to Pastida from HK$703

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy tips for a hassle-free start to your time in Pastida.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a good novel. Secondly, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of an airplane are not the best place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool in the cabin on long-haul flights. Flat, enclosed shoes are also a good choice.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clots forming due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a high-quality pair of compression socks also helps reduce your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Pastida before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a spectacular start:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any liquids or gels, such as shampoo or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
