Cheap Flights to Musha from HK$2,501

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be testing. But there's no need to worry. Follow these handy tips and enjoy a pain-free start to your holiday in Musha. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, travel documents, cash and medications. Next, you'll need some in-flight entertainment to help pass the time. A thrilling book and a tablet crammed with your favourite shows are some wonderful options. If you plan to take a quick nap, a quality neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a few toiletry items to ensure you hop off the plane feeling 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 baggage. Any liquids in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp objects, like your precious Swiss Army knife, and dangerous products which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and matches, are also prohibited.

What to wear on a flight:

• Your main aim is to be as comfortable as possible. Go for shoes that are easy to pull on and off, dress in loose, breathable clothing and remember to take a jacket in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
• Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a potential risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clotting due to poor circulation, so do some gentle foot and leg exercises in your seat and consider wearing compression socks or tights.

As savvy travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you get to the airport security gate. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Musha in next to no time. Follow these tips and get your trip off to a spectacular start:

• Your passport and boarding pass will need to be presented to airport security. Have them easily accessible so you don't have to dig around for them.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, coat, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as your turn draws near.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets also need to go through the scanner.
• Can't travel without your favourite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several precious minutes. Boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on sneakers are usually not.
• Sharp or pointed objects (like knives and scissors) can't be taken on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them in your checked luggage.
