Cheap Flights to Magomadas from HK$364

If you're poorly prepared, air travel can be tough. But there's no need to hit the panic button just yet. Follow these helpful hints for a trouble-free start to your holiday in Magomadas. What to pack in your hand luggage:

• The trick to having a stress-free travel experience is to pack in advance. First up, the essentials: passport, official ID, cash and any vital medications. Next, take on board items that'll help keep you busy, like some electronic devices or a juicy novel. It's also wise to pack your chargers, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earphones. Last but not least, be sure to squeeze in toiletry items like a toothbrush, lip balm and a fresh set of clothes.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• Put all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked luggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on bag larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) will be confiscated by security. Sharp or pointed objects, like a Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are flammable or explosive, such as aerosols and poisons, are also restricted.

What to wear on a flight:

• Comfort should be your priority when choosing what to wear during your flight. Loose, breathable clothing is a smart option, as are flat, enclosed shoes.
• You're probably aware of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clot condition caused by long periods of sitting. To lessen your risk on board, stay hydrated, consider wearing compression socks or tights and move your legs and feet often.

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

• Security personnel first need to know that you have a valid passport and travel documents before you can proceed any further. Have them close by, ready for inspection.
• Time to strip down. Well sort of. Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will be required to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
• All your electronics, including your tablet and phone, will also need to be scanned separately.
• Any liquids or gels, such as perfume or toothpaste, that you want to take 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 good footwear choice as you're less likely to be asked to remove them when passing through security. Hiking boots and other heavy shoes are often subjected to additional screening.
• Sharp or pointed items are not allowed in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked baggage.
