Cheap Flights to Malling from HK$4,609

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you've planned ahead. We've compiled a list of handy travel tips that will get your Malling holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The secret to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help while away those hours, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also a wise idea to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones. Last but not least, be sure to toss in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosol cans, spray paint and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes in the cabin by wearing layers, and wear easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks and move your lower limbs often.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Look out Malling, here you come:

• First things first. Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't hold up the line.
• 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 belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronics, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to take on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you a few precious minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Knives and other sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
