Cheap Flights to Magenta from HK$357

Depending on where you're coming from, your trip to Magenta could be as easy as pie or it could drag on forever. Below are some handy travel tips that will help you start your next great adventure on the right foot. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's simple — first, pack your passport, travel documents, credit cards and daily medications. Next, you'll need some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy book and a laptop crammed with your favourite shows are some great options. If you hope to take a quick nap, a neck pillow and a pair of noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, find room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you arrive looking fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of restricted items can differ between air carriers, the general rule of thumb is avoid carrying anything sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, drills, fireworks and fuel. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could injure passengers, such as pepper spray and firearms, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when deciding what to wear on your flight. Loose clothing is a sensible choice, as are flat, slip-on shoes.
• The result of prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect passengers during long-distance flights. Lower your risks by staying hydrated, keeping your legs and ankles moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

It's all about being organised. We've rounded up some handy tips and tricks for a speedy trip through security. Watch out Magenta, here you come:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They'll be the first things you'll be asked to show at security.
• After that, both you and your carry-on luggage will be X-rayed. To make the process quick and painless, remove anything that might trigger the alarms. Items such as your belt, jacket and headphones will be required to go through the machine.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics also need to go through the scanner.
• Remove all gels and liquids from your carry-on luggage. They often need to be sent through the X-ray separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and everything must fit inside a single quart-size (one litre), clear zip-lock bag.
• There's a possibility that you'll be asked to remove your shoes to be X-rayed, so wearing lightweight sneakers is always a smart idea.
• Sharp items are not allowed on board. They'll be confiscated at security, so pack them safely away in your checked suitcase.
