Cheap Flights to Mahilyow from HK$4,303

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've put together a list of top travel tips that will get your Mahilyow escape started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a great experience if you take the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and something to read. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, don't forget to take your passport, travel docs and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and items that could injure passengers, such as firearms and swords, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for a pair of slip-on shoes, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot condition that can affect passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Mahilyow a pleasure. Here are some handy tips for a stress-free journey past security:

• Have your ID and travel documents someplace easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your coat, belt and earphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Travelling with your favourite hand cream? 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, you can bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
