Cheap Flights to Maribor from HK$572

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Maribor could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack your passport, travel docs, cash and daily medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite movies are some great options. If you intend to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, squeeze in a few toiletry items to ensure you step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, pocket knives, fuels and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like golf clubs, and objects that could harm passengers, such as pepper spray and guns, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural-fibre clothing and don't forget to take a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by lengthy 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 improve your circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've compiled some helpful hints for a stress-free trip through security. Look out Maribor, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and passport within close reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to beep. This includes items like headphones or earphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Travelling with a new hand cream? As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
