Cheap Flights to Mako from HK$472

Depending on where you're coming from, your flight to Mako could be as easy as pie or it could go on forever. Below are some handy hints that will help you start your unforgettable escape on a positive note.What to pack in your hand luggage:

• A plane ride can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right gear. Firstly, you'll want a few basic toiletries, such as deodorant, toothpaste and a toothbrush, a clean pair of socks and a good novel. Secondly, find room in your bag for your electronic gadgets, chargers, any daily medications and maybe a blow-up neck pillow as well. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to bring your passport, travel docs and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

• While the list of prohibited items differs between air carriers, the general rule to follow is nothing sharp, flammable or explosive. This includes things like screwdrivers, blades, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like ski poles, and objects that could harm other people, such as firearms and ammunition, aren't allowed in the cabin either.

What to wear on a flight:

• The key to a comfortable flight is as simple as your choice in clothes. Prepare for temperature changes by bringing layers. That way you'll stay nice and warm if the cabin gets too cold. Shoes like flip flops and heels are best left in your checked suitcase. Instead, opt for flat, closed-toed footwear like sneakers. Your feet will thank you for it.
• Caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. But the great news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay hydrated, get up and wander the aisles wherever possible and wear compression socks or tights.

It's simple — be prepared. We've compiled some handy tips and tricks for a hassle-free trip through security. Look out Mako, here you come:

• First things first. Your passport and boarding pass will need to be shown to security personnel. Keep them within easy reach so you don't hold up the line.
• Your belt, coat, keys and other items in your pocket, like your headphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them as it gets closer to your turn.
• For just a few moments, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic devices will also need to be sent through the scanner.
• Traveling with your favorite hand cream? No problem. As long as it's in a container no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and it's stored in a clear zip-close bag, you're permitted to bring it with you in your carry-on luggage.
• The right choice of footwear can save you valuable minutes. Boots and heavy shoes are often required to be removed and separately scanned. Slip-on shoes are usually not.
• Airlines will not allow any pocket knives or other sharp items in your carry-on baggage. If you must bring these kinds of items, put them in your checked baggage.
