Cheap Flights to Mahavelona from HK$14,104

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well prepared. Check out these top travel tips that will help get your Mahavelona escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Air travel can be easy if you've got all the right gear. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and something to read. Next, leave space in your bag for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and maybe a cozy neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes screwdrivers, blades, aerosol cans and flares. Sporting equipment like golf clubs, and items that could harm other people, such as pepper spray and guns, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The best way to ensure a comfortable flight often lies in your choice of clothes. Prepare for changes in temperature by layering up. This will keep you nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like sandals and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, go for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will appreciate it.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by reduced mobility or inactivity. There's plenty you can do to reduce your risk. Don a pair of compression tights or socks, stay hydrated and move your legs and feet. Wander up and down the aisles of the cabin or perform some simple exercises in your seat.

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

• Be sure to keep your passport and travel documents close by. They're the first items you'll be asked to show at airport security.
• Next up, 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 like your coat, belt 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 though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any liquids or gels, such as toothpaste or perfume, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a good chance you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a wise idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
