Cheap Flights to Methana from HK$295

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Methana could be a piece of cake or it could drag on forever. We've pulled together some useful travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some wonderful options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, chemicals agents and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for temperature changes by layering up, and wear flat, easy-to-remove footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks.

It's easy — be prepared. We've pulled together some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through airport security. Watch out Methana, here you come:

• Be sure to have your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first items you'll be asked for by airport security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other small items, like coins, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them before your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from technology. Your laptop, phone and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Any gels or liquids, such as hair oil or hand cream, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items like knives are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked luggage.
