Cheap Flights to Azrou from HK$1,250

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you're well organised. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Azrou escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a great travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the essentials: passport, travel docs, credit cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic gadgets or a juicy novel. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs. Finally, don't forget to toss in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

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

What to wear on a flight:

• Go for comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by donning layers, and pick easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle leg and foot exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

The simple answer is — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Azrou, here you come:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass at hand. They're the first items you'll be asked for by security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• 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 soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as shampoo or hairspray, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
