Cheap Flights to Malagazi from HK$640

We've pulled together all the info you need to make your journey a pleasant experience. Follow our tips and you'll be zooming through airport security and discovering Malagazi in no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First, put in your passport, travel docs, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll need some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to catch a few z's, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant so you'll step off the plane looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in one of the zippers of your carry-on luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable substances, like aerosols and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Wear layers and go for shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to pull on and off.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, drink lots of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be prepared before you arrive at the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Malagazi in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a flying start:

• Have your boarding pass and passport handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by airport security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your phone and laptop, must also be scanned.
• Any gels or liquids, such as lip balm or cologne, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a clever idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
