Cheap Flights to Mondol Seima from HK$1,782

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you prepare well enough. Check out these handy hints that will help get your Mondol Seima escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, important documents, cash and vital medications. Next, you'll want some in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favourite shows are good options. If you plan to take a quick snooze, a quality neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also be useful. Finally, squeeze in a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes to ensure you hop off the plane looking fresh and ready to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your trusty pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as spray paint, flares and fireworks, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an aircraft aren't the place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are roomy, flat and easy to take on and off.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by extended periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Make a point of walking around the cabin or do some gentle exercises in your seat to promote better circulation.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some useful tips for an easy trip through security. Look out Mondol Seima, here you come:

• Keep your passport and travel documents easily accessible. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything that is likely to beep. This includes things like headphones or earphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll all need to go on the X-ray conveyor belt.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your phone, laptop and any other electronics must also be sent through the scanner.
• 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.
• Slip-on shoes are a good footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Pocket knives and other sharp items can't be taken on board. They'll be seized at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
