Cheap Flights to Peru from HK$1,144

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Peru could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. Here are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare pair of socks and a magazine or two. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your electronic gadgets, chargers, your important medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a Swiss Army knife hiding in your hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and fireworks, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your main priority when picking what to wear on your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are your best bet.
• It's likely you've heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There are many ways to mitigate your risk. Don a pair of compression socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

Being prepared before your flight can make your trip to Peru a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, must also be scanned.
• Traveling with a new cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a clever idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in 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.
