Cheap Flights to Marendu from HK$858

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these handy travel tips that will help get your Marendu escape started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a great experience if you've got all the right things. Firstly, you'll want a few toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare pair of socks and something to read. Secondly, leave space in your carry-on bag for your phone and charger, your medications and maybe a neck pillow as well. Last, but definitely not least, remember to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) won't be allowed on. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and poisons, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

• The long, narrow aisles of your airplane are no fashion runway. Layer up with comfy clothing and don't forget to bring a cardigan as it can get chilly in the cabin. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are also recommended.
• Unfortunately, a risk of long flights is developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged inactivity. To prevent this from happening, make the most of every opportunity to walk around and give your legs a stretch. Compression socks and tights are another simple way to help minimize this risk.

As seasoned travelers know, the secret is to be prepared before you get to airport security. That way, you'll be stepping onto that plane to Marendu in the blink of an eye. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you're allowed to proceed any further. Keep them within easy reach.
• Next up, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To speed things up, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Personal belongings such as your jacket, belt and headphones need to go through the machine.
• Your electronic gadgets like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. No need to worry though, you'll be back online in no time.
• Want to bring along your favorite perfume? Not a problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, it's fine to bring with you in your carry-on.
• There's a chance you'll need to remove your shoes for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
