Cheap Flights to Maketu from HK$633

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Maketu could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Here are some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack ahead. Start with the essentials: passport, boarding pass, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you occupied, like some electronic gadgets or a good read. You'll also want to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. And of course, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and gasoline, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of a plane aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and opt for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

A little pre-planning before you get to the airport will help make your trip to Maketu quick and painless. We've compiled some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them in your hand, ready for inspection.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each product should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a wise idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
