Cheap Flights to Maisse from HK$280

If you're not prepared, air travel can be challenging. But there's no need to panic. Follow these useful tips for a trouble-free start to your getaway in Maisse.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, put in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to help pass the time. A juicy novel and a phone crammed with your favorite shows are some terrific options. If you intend to take a short nap, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, spray paint and flares. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of a plane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as it tends to get cool inside the cabin during longer flights. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also a good idea.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the good news is there are numerous ways to significantly reduce your risk of developing it. Keep your fluids up, get up and walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks or tights.

Being organized before you arrive at the airport can make your getaway to Maisse a piece of cake. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a swift journey past security:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them easily accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings like your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. No need to worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to bring on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Slip-on shoes are a sensible footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Boots and heavier-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 bags.
