Cheap Flights to Mayong from HK$1,252

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you've planned ahead. Follow these essential travel tips that will get your Mayong holiday started on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First of all, pack in your passport, important documents, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are some fantastic options. If you hope to catch forty winks, a quality neck pillow and some earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave some space for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown looking fresh and raring to go.

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 gels or liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosol cans, flares and strong acids, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to feel as comfortable as possible. Go for easy-to-remove footwear, dress in loose, breathable clothing and don't forget to take a pullover in case you get chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It results from blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression tights or socks.

Being organised before you arrive at the airport can make your trip to Mayong a piece of cake. Below you'll find some useful tips and tricks for a stress-free journey past security:

• Security personnel first need to check that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Keep them close by.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• All your electronics, including your laptop and phone, are also required to be scanned.
• Remove gels and liquids from your carry-on bag. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a good idea.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked suitcase.
