Cheap Flights to Pisgah from HK$6,822

If you're poorly prepared, airports and flying can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these handy hints and enjoy a comfortable start to your getaway in Pisgah.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a great travel experience is to be prepared. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a few magazines. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, cleansing wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, drills, fuel and fireworks. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could injure passengers, such as swords and batons, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to pack a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Pick well-fitting, flat shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your checked baggage.
• A condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce your risk.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well prepared before you arrive at the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Pisgah in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and travel documents before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
