Cheap Flights to Minoh from HK$443

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. We've compiled a list of handy hints that will get your Minoh holiday started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• First and foremost, pack your passport, travel docs, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the time. A thrilling book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a short snooze, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some facial wipes to ensure you arrive at your destination feeling fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of banned items differs between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like knives, scissors, fuels and bleaching agents. Sporting equipment like hockey sticks, and objects that could harm other people, such as swords and batons, are also banned from the cabin.

What to wear on a flight:

• You'll want to go for comfort over style. Prepare for changes in temperature by dressing in layers, and opt for slightly roomy, flat shoes like slip-ons.
• Most travellers have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by long periods of inactivity. To minimize your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

It's simple — be prepared. We've pulled together some helpful hints for a speedy trip through airport security. Look out Minoh, here you come:

• Keep your travel documents and ID handy. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag will be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that might set the alarms off. Items like your jacket, belt and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• Electronic devices like phones and laptops will also have to go on a tray for inspection. Don't worry, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Any gels or liquids, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take on board need to be in containers no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). Also, everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a chance you'll be asked 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 on board.
