Cheap Flights to Melling from HK$2,832

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a seamless experience if you're prepared. We've compiled a list of handy tips that will get your Melling escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Travelling on a plane can be a great experience if you bring the right stuff. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a fresh change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your hand luggage for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a proper neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by donning layers, and pick flat, easy-to-remove shoes like slip-ons.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some simple exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will make your getaway to Melling easy and painless. Below are some top tips for a swift journey through security:

• Keep your passport and travel documents within easy reach. They're the first items you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also need to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Travelling with your favourite hand and nail cream? As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on baggage.
• It's also possible you'll be required to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a good idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
