Cheap Flights to Petermann from HK$1,297

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as enjoyable as possible. Follow our insider tips and you'll be cruising through the airport and discovering Petermann in no time flat. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be easy if you take the right things. First of all you'll need basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your precious pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and poisons, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slightly roomy shoes.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out Petermann, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several precious minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
