Cheap Flights to Paute from HK$761

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be a real challenge. But don't hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your time in Paute. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having an awesome flight experience is to plan ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, official ID, bank cards and daily medications. Next, take on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, don't forget to chuck in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and matches, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a sweater in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Most travellers are aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and do gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've put together some useful tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out Paute, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your boarding pass and passport handy. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn arrives.
• Your electronic gadgets like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online in no time.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
