Cheap Flights to Son Macia from HK$147

Wherever you're jetting in from, flying can be a pleasurable experience if you've prepared well. We've compiled a list of top travel tips that will help get your Son Macia escape started on the right foot.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a stress-free experience if you've got all the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletry items, such as toothpaste, a toothbrush and some deodorant, a fresh set of clothes and a magazine or two. Next, find room in your hand luggage for your phone, tablet and chargers, any medications and perhaps a quality neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and your credit cards.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp objects (like a pocket knife) lurking in one of the compartments of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as fuel and matches, and gels and liquids in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should always be your priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common occurrence. Slightly roomy, flat shoes are always a sensible way to go.
• A serious condition known as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) can pose a risk on long-haul flights. It's the result of blood clots forming due to poor circulation and inactivity. Doing foot and leg exercises while seated helps to prevent this occurring. Wearing a good-quality pair of compression tights or socks is also recommended.

The answer is — be prepared. We've put together some tips and tricks for a stress-free trip through security. Watch out Son Macia, here you come:

• Keep your ID and boarding pass within easy reach. They'll be the first things you'll be asked for by security.
• Time to strip down. Well kind of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go on a tray through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your tablet, phone and any other electronic gadgets also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Want to bring along your favorite cologne? No problem. As long as the volume is no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you on board.
• Lightweight sneakers are a clever footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other heavy-style shoes are usually subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives in your carry-on baggage. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
