Cheap Flights to La Malene from HK$531

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to La Malene could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some handy tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, travel docs, bank cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A juicy novel and a tablet crammed with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll touchdown feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, fuel and fireworks. Sports equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as guns and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main concern when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lower your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

It's all about being organised. We've compiled some tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Look out La Malene, here you come:

• Your travel documents and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Have them easily accessible to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All electronic devices, including your laptop and phone, will also need to be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new perfume? No problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• Slip-on shoes are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, put them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed on board.
