Cheap Flights to Magong from HK$490

If you're not prepared, airports and flying can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy hints for a trouble-free start to your time in Magong. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be easy if you pack the right stuff. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and hairbrush, a fresh set of clothes and a good read. Next, make room in your bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some cash.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and fireworks, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to remove.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers on long-haul flights. Reduce the risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being prepared. We've put together some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Watch out Magong, here you come:

• Have your boarding pass and passport at hand. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings like your coat, belt and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any liquids or gels, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
