Cheap Flights to Merlischachen from HK$346

Depending on where you're coming from, your journey to Merlischachen could be completely stress-free or it could drag on forever. We've compiled some tips that will help you start your next great adventure on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having an awesome travel experience is to pack ahead. So, let's start with the basics: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, bring items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic gadgets or a good book. You'll also want to bring your chargers, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. Finally, be sure to chuck in toiletry items like a toothbrush, deodorant and a spare change of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items can differ between airlines, the general rule to follow is nothing flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes knives, scissors, aerosol cans and bleaching agents. Sports equipment like bows and arrows, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, can't come on board with you either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The goal here is to be as comfortable as you can. Layer up with loose, breathable clothing and take a cardigan in case it gets cool in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the flight. Leave the stilettos and heavy hiking boots in your luggage.
• The result of sustained periods of immobility, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a condition that can affect passengers during long flights. But the good news is there are ways to lower your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, wander through the cabin wherever possible and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

The secret is to be organized before you get to the security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Merlischachen in no time at all. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• First things first. Your passport and travel documents will need to be presented to airport security. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Remove anything metal on you that is likely to beep. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your hand luggage. 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 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them safely in your checked luggage.
