Cheap Flights to Magnetic Springs from HK$1,469

If you're not prepared, travelling can be overwhelming. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these tips and tricks for a pleasant start to your holiday in Magnetic Springs. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• It's easy — first, pack your passport, official ID, credit cards and medications. Next, you'll want some extra in-flight entertainment to while away the hours. A thrilling book and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are good options. If you plan to catch forty winks, a neck pillow and some noise-cancelling headphones will also come in handy. Finally, leave space for a toothbrush and some cleansing wipes so you'll hop off the plane feeling fresh as a daisy.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of hair gel and hairspray in your checked luggage. Any gels or liquids in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated. Pointed or sharp objects, like a pocket knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as flares, bleaching agents and matches, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your highest priority when choosing what to wear on your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a sensible option, as are flat, closed-toe shoes.
• Most of us have heard about deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by prolonged periods of inactivity. To reduce your risk on board, drink plenty of water, consider wearing compression socks or tights and keep your feet and legs moving.

Being prepared before you get to the airport can make your getaway to Magnetic Springs quick and painless. We've rounded up some top tips for a speedy journey through security:

• Keep your boarding pass and ID close by. They're the first things you'll be asked to present to airport security.
• The X-ray machine is up next. Remove anything on you that is likely to beep. This includes things like earphones or headphones, as well as heavy coats or jackets. They'll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
• Electronic devices like laptops and phones will also have to go through the machine to be scanned. Don't worry though, you'll be back online before you know it.
• Want to bring along your favourite perfume or 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 allowed to bring it with you on board.
• Choosing your footwear wisely can save you several valuable minutes. Boots and bulky shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Lightweight sneakers usually aren't.
• Sharp items such as knives and scissors are not allowed on board. They'll be seized at security, so put them in your checked luggage.
