Cheap Flights to Motiti Island from HK$552

Wherever you're coming from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you prepare well enough. We've put together a list of handy tips that will get your Motiti Island vacation started on the right note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane trip can be a pleasure if you pack the right stuff. First things first, you'll need basic toiletry items, such as lip balm and hand cream, a clean set of clothes and something to read. Next, make room in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow too. Last, but definitely not least, be sure to bring your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have a sharp object hiding in your hand luggage. Other restricted items include explosive or flammable products, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and gels and liquids in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Your number one priority is to make yourself as comfortable as you can. Layer up in natural fibers and remember to pack a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin. Opt for roomy, flat shoes as it's possible that your feet and ankles will swell a little during the journey. Leave the stilettos and chunky boots in your checked luggage.
• A serious condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation. Walking around the cabin and doing regular leg and foot exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a quality pair of compression socks may also help.

A little pre-planning before your flight will make your trip to Motiti Island a pleasure. Below you'll find some useful tips for a stress-free journey through security:

• Your travel documents and ID will need to be presented to airport security personnel. Have them close by to avoid fumbling around for them.
• Next up, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, take off anything that is likely to set the alarm off. Personal belongings like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All your electronic devices, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to take on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one liter), zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp objects in your hand luggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
