Cheap Flights to Mendexa from HK$408

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mendexa could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. We've rounded up some handy hints that will help you start your next unforgettable escape on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a worry-free flight experience is to pack ahead. First up, the essentials: passport, boarding pass, cash and important medications. Next, bring on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a good book. It's also smart to pack your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletries like a toothbrush, facial wipes and a spare set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like your treasured Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and don't forget to bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Flat, slightly roomy shoes are also a good choice.
• Most travelers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of inactivity. There are numerous ways to lower your risk. Wear a quality pair of compression socks or tights, stay well hydrated and move your legs and feet. Do a lap or two of the cabin or try out some simple stretches in your seat.

The trick is to be well prepared before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Mendexa before you know it. Follow these helpful tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• Have your travel documents and ID handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your laptop, phone and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
