Cheap Flights to Maianca from HK$845

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Maianca could be a piece of cake or it could go on forever. Here are some handy tips that will help you start your next big adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First things first, put in your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favorite movies are always good options. If you intend to catch forty winks, a comfy neck pillow and some noise-canceling headphones will also be useful. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by security. Pointed or sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The main aim is to feel as comfortable as you can. Layer yourself up in breathable clothing and remember to pack a cardigan just in case you get chilly. Pick flat, slightly roomy shoes as your feet may swell during the flight. Leave the high heels and heavy hiking boots in your main luggage.
• Most travelers are aware of DVT (deep vein thrombosis), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. There's lots you can do to minimize your risk. Wear compression socks or tights, drink lots of water and keep your legs and feet moving. Walk around the cabin when possible or perform some stretches in your seat.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Maianca a pleasure. Below are some handy tips for a swift journey through security:

• First things first. Your travel ID and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Keep them within easy reach to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like coins, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them as your turn draws near.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, must also be scanned separately.
• Remove gels and liquids from your hand luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, put them in your checked luggage. They won't be allowed on board and will be confiscated.
