Cheap Flights to Porchia from HK$1,073

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Porchia could be no sweat at all or it could drag on forever. We've put together some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, bank cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone filled with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you intend to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a knife or scissors) lurking in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to be as comfortable as you can. Choose flat, closed-toe shoes, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a pullover in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your legs and feet often.

It's all about being prepared. We've rounded up some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Porchia, here you come:

• Be sure to keep your ID and boarding pass someplace easily accessible. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to set off the alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy jackets or coats. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and heavier-style shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Airlines won't allow any sharp or pointed objects in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
