Cheap Flights to M'rirt from HK$6,298

No matter where you're coming from, flying can be an enjoyable experience if you're well organised. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will get your M'rirt escape started on the right note. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, put in your passport, travel docs, bank cards and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a phone crammed with your favourite shows are some terrific options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some earplugs will also be useful. Finally, leave space for a few toiletry items so you'll arrive feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Pack all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and hairspray in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp objects, like your treasured pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and gasoline, are also not allowed.

What to wear on a flight:

• The aisles of an airplane are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfortable clothing and pick shoes that are flat, enclosed and easy to slip on and off.
• The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your legs and feet moving and wearing compression socks to help improve your circulation.

It's easy — be prepared. We've put together some top tips for a fuss-free trip through airport security. Watch out M'rirt, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to see that you have a valid passport and boarding pass before anything else. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
• After that, both you and your carry-on bag must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items such as your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few minutes, you'll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronic devices will also need to go through the scanner.
• Remember to remove gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They usually need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each product should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll need to take your shoes off to be X-rayed, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a smart idea.
• Avoid taking prohibited items in your carry-on bag. If you have any sharp objects like a pocket knife or tools, pack them safely away in your checked baggage. They won't be allowed on board.
