Cheap Flights to Ma'agan from HK$556

If you're not prepared, air travel can be overwhelming. But there's no need to worry. Follow these useful tips and enjoy a pleasant start to your getaway in Ma'agan. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• Flying can be a comfortable experience if you pack the right things. Firstly, you'll want some basic toiletries, such as a toothbrush and some deodorant, a spare change of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow as well. Lastly, don't forget to take your passport, travel documents and your bank 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 hand luggage. Other prohibited items include flammable or explosive goods, like aerosols and matches, and liquids and gels in containers with a volume of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your main priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a wise option, as are roomy, closed-toe shoes.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers during long flights. Reduce the risks by staying hydrated, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression socks or tights.

As seasoned travellers know, the secret is to be well organised before you arrive at airport security. That way, you'll be hopping onto that plane to Ma'agan in the blink of an eye. Follow these helpful tips and get your holiday off to a great start:

• Airport security personnel first need to verify that you have a valid ID and boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Keep them close by.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your coat, belt, keys and other small items, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make your life easier by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, are also required to be separately scanned.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or hairspray, that you want to bring on board must be no greater than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres). They must also all fit inside a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
• Lightweight sneakers are a great footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Big boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
• Airlines won't allow any pocket knives or other sharp items to come on board with you. If you need to bring these kinds of items, check them in.
