Cheap Flights to Monto from HK$1,074

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. Take a peek at these essential travel tips that will help get your Monto vacation started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a comfortable experience if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need toiletry items, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare change of clothes and a few magazines. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, any daily medications and perhaps a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Check carefully that you don't have a Swiss Army knife lurking in your carry-on luggage. Other prohibited items include explosive or flammable substances, such as aerosol cans and fuel, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your plane are not the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and remember to bring a cardigan as it can get quite cool in the cabin. Flat, enclosed shoes are always a good choice too.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises in your seat is a great way to prevent this developing. Wearing a good pair of compression socks is also a wise idea.

The answer is simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for an easy trip through security. Look out Monto, here you come:

• Airport security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Personal belongings such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also need to go on a tray to be scanned. Don't worry, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Any gels or liquids, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
