Cheap Flights to Malter from HK$5,501

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well enough. We've compiled a list of handy tips and tricks that will get your Malter holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a hassle-free flight experience is to pack in advance. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, bank cards and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a thrilling novel. It's also smart to bring your chargers, a comfy neck pillow and a pair of headphones. Finally, be sure to pop in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Leave all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hair gel in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your top priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Loose clothing is a smart choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• You've probably heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by prolonged periods of sitting. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks and keep your feet and legs moving.

A little pre-planning before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Malter a pleasure. Here are some handy tips and tricks for a stress-free journey through security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you're allowed to proceed any further. Have them ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your coat, belt, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn arrives.
• All your electronic gadgets, including your phone and tablet, are also required to be scanned.
• Want to bring along your favourite hand cream? As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-close bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on bag.
• It's also likely that you'll need to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked suitcase. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
