Cheap Flights to Macau from HK$615

We've rounded up all the info you need to make your flight a pleasant experience. Follow our top tips and you'll be zooming through the airport and seeing the best of Macau in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some great options. If you hope to catch up on some sleep, a comfy neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive at your destination looking and feeling fresh.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Double-check that you don't have a pocket knife lurking in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include flammable or explosive products, such as fuel and fireworks, and gels and liquids in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Pick shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, natural fibers and don't forget to take a jacket in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression socks to help your circulation.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Macau, here you come:

• Your passport and travel documents will need to be inspected by security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other contents of your pockets, like coins, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process easier by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• Your electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online soon enough.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
