Cheap Flights to Messejana from HK$355

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these useful tips for a worry-free start to your vacation in Messejana.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Secondly, find a spot in your carry-on bag for your electronic devices, chargers, any medications and perhaps a blow-up neck pillow too. Lastly, remember to bring your passport, travel docs and your bank cards.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and fireworks, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• The narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and pack a cardigan as it can get chilly inside the cabin. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a wise idea.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a blood clot condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Drink plenty of water, get up and walk around the cabin as much as possible and wear compression socks or tights.

As savvy travelers know, the secret is to be well organized before you reach security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Messejana in a flash. Follow these helpful tips and get your vacation off to a terrific start:

• Airport security personnel first need to check that you have a valid ID and travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• All electronic devices, including your phone and laptop, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Traveling with your favorite hand and nail cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Boots and other bulky shoes are usually subjected to additional screening.
• Knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked baggage.
