Cheap Flights to Metis Beach from HK$1,065

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Metis Beach could be simple and straightforward or it could go on forever. We've compiled some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be a pleasure if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want some toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any daily medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, remember to bring your passport, travel papers and some money.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) hiding in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive substances, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of an airplane are no fashion runway. Layer yourself up with comfortable clothes and bring a cardigan as the temperature can drop inside the cabin during long-haul flights. Enclosed, flat shoes are also a good choice.
• The serious condition by the name of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing regular foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression socks may also help.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your getaway to Metis Beach quick and painless. Read through our useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your ID and travel documents will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them handy so you don't hold up the line.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic gadgets must also go through the scanner.
• Don't forget to remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them safely away in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
