Cheap Flights to Pulau Sugi from HK$2,970

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Pulau Sugi could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. Below are some useful travel tips that will help you start your unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a comfortable experience if you carry the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a good read. Next, find room in your carry-on bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any vital medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp objects, like your trusty Swiss Army knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Don layers of natural fibers and don't forget to pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Always go with flat, slightly roomy shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing leg and foot exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression socks can also help.

A little pre-planning before your flight can make your getaway to Pulau Sugi easy and painless. Here are some top tips for a speedy journey past security:

• Airport security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and headphones need to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronics will need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favorite hand and nail cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Slip-on shoes are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked bags.
