Cheap Flights to Pella from HK$1,372

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of essential travel tips that will get your Pella escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some terrific options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a pocket knife hiding in one of the zippers of your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive products, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to slip on and off, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to bring a sweater in case it gets cold in the cabin.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your ankles and legs moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

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

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by airport security personnel. Keep them handy to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite perfume or cologne? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can keep 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 additional screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
