Cheap Flights to Ifrane from HK$1,525

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

• First, put in your passport, important documents, credit cards and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as bleach 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:

• Comfort should be your top priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be organised before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ifrane in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your travel documents and ID will need to be inspected by airport security. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Your jacket, belt, keys and other small items, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you can keep it with you in your carry-on.
• There's a good chance you'll be asked to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
