Cheap Flights to Mullan from HK$3,866

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mullan could be a breeze or it could drag on forever. We've rounded up some tips that will help you start your next great escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Firstly, and most importantly, pack in your passport, travel docs, cash and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling novel and a tablet filled with your favorite movies are some great options. If you hope to take a short snooze, a neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane looking fresh and raring 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 or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Pointed or sharp objects, like your beloved pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as spray paint, flares and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• The answer to a comfortable flight is often as simple as the clothes you wear. Prepare yourself for varying temperatures by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin begins to cool down. Shoes like stilettos, flip flops and lace-up boots are best left in your suitcase. Even though they may be your favorites, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like slip-ons. Your feet will thank you for it.
• The serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-distance flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to inactivity and poor circulation. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated is a great way to prevent this from happening. Wearing a good pair of compression tights or socks also helps reduce the risk.

Being prepared before you arrive at the airport will help make your trip to Mullan quick and painless. Here are some handy hints for a speedy journey through security:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to airport security personnel. Have them close by so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Next up is the X-ray machine. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner's alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as bulky coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• For just a few moments, you'll have to unplug from technology. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hand cream, that you want to bring on board must be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters). Also, they all must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-lock bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to be required to remove them when going through security. Hiking boots and other heavy-style shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp or pointed objects in the cabin. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
