Cheap Flights to Pescadero from HK$3,186

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you're well prepared. Take a peek at these top travel tips that will get your Pescadero escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a spare set of clothes and a magazine or two. Secondly, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on board. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to wander around the cabin or do some simple exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Pescadero, here you come:

• Have your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind 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 easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic devices will need to go through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favourite cologne or perfume? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not 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.
