Cheap Flights to Marcana from HK$499

We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight as stress-free as possible. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be hightailing it through airport security and seeing the best of Marcana in next to no time. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, travel docs, credit cards and important medications. Next, take on board items that'll help pass the time, like some electronic devices or a thrilling novel. It's also wise to bring your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of headphones. And of course, don't forget to squeeze in toiletries like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and products which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Choose comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and pick flat, slightly roomy footwear like sneakers.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Try to walk around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

The trick is to be well organised before you reach the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Marcana in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a great start:

• First things first. Your boarding pass and passport will need to be shown to airport security. Keep them someplace accessible so you don't hold up the queue.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might set the alarms off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• The right choice of footwear can save you several minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Take all prohibited items out of your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp or pointed objects, pack them in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed in the cabin.
