Cheap Flights to Pico Rivera from HK$2,904

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasant experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will help get your Pico Rivera vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, pack in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favorite movies are good options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll step off the plane looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim here is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and bring a jacket in case it gets cool. Pick a pair of roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to lessen your risk. Wear a pair of compression tights or socks, drink lots of water and move your legs and feet. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform exercises in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Pico Rivera a piece of cake. We've compiled some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your passport and boarding pass handy. They're the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your jacket, belt, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favorite hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, it's OK to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
