Cheap Flights to Macdona from HK$4,216

If you're poorly prepared, traveling can be daunting. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these handy tips for a stress-free start to your getaway in Macdona.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a great experience if you've got all the right stuff. First of all you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean set of clothes and a good book. Next, leave space in your bag for your laptop, a charger, your important medications and maybe a quality neck pillow as well. Lastly, be sure to bring your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Make sure you don't have sharp or pointed objects hiding in the bottom of your carry-on luggage. Other banned items include explosive or flammable goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters).

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your prime concern when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your choice of footwear with care too, as swollen ankles and feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
• Caused by sustained periods of immobility, DVT (deep vein thrombosis) is a serious condition that can affect passengers on long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, walk up and down the aisles as often as you can and wear compression tights or socks.

It's simple — be prepared. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a fuss-free trip through security. Watch out Macdona, here you come:

• Security personnel first need to make sure that you have a valid passport and matching travel documents before anything else. Have them ready to show.
• After that, both you and your hand luggage must be X-rayed. To speed things up, take off anything that is likely to trigger the alarm. Items like your belt, coat and earphones will be required to go through the machine.
• All electronic gadgets, including your laptop and phone, must also be separately scanned.
• Remove all liquids and gels from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray machine separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit inside a quart-size (one liter), clear zip-close bag.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Hiking or heavy-style boots are often required to be removed and X-rayed separately. Slip-on shoes usually aren't.
• Airlines will not allow any sharp items or pocket knives to come on board with you. If you must bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked baggage.
